Fresh bomb blast kills two in Pakistan

The blast occurred on Monday in in Balochistan’s capital Quetta, leaving many more, including women and children wounded.

Local officials say the explosives had been hidden inside a vehicle.

Meanwhile rescue teams have transferred those injured to local hospitals. Many are said to be in critical condition.

Last Tuesday, at least seven people were killed in separate violent attacks in Quetta and the southern port city of Karachi.

Over 35,000 Pakistanis have lost their lives in bombings and other militant attacks since 2001 when Pakistan joined an alliance with the United States in the so-called war against terrorism, according to local media.

Since late 2009, there has been a surge in militant attacks in Pakistan and thousands more have been displaced by the wave of violence and militancy sweeping across the country.

Tehrik-e Taliban Pakistan (TTP) militants and associated groups have carried out numerous attacks on security forces as well as civilians.
