 QUETTA, Pakistan (AP) - Five bombs ripped through a firing range at a police training school in southwestern Pakistan on Thursday, killing six members of an anti-terrorism unit and wounding nine, police and a doctor said.
The attack was the deadliest in weeks in southwestern Baluchistan province, a vast region where renegade tribesmen are fighting for greater autonomy and an increase in royalties for resources extracted from their lands.
The bombs, wired together to go off in sequence, were hidden around a firing range at the training academy in Quetta, the provincial capital, said senior city police official Wazir Nasar. The explosions occurred as 52 members of a police anti-terrorism unit were doing physical exercises, he said.
