Landmine blasts kill Pak soldier
Afp, Quetta
A soldier was killed and seven other people wounded in two separate landmine blasts in Pakistan's insurgency-hit Baluchistan province, officials said yesterday. The trooper and three others were wounded when their vehicle hit a landmine planted by suspected tribal rebels in Dera Bugti district late Wednesday, a paramilitary forces spokesman told AFP. Four tribesmen were wounded in a separate landmine explosion early Thursday near the same area, he added. Hundreds of people have been killed since tribesmen demanding more autonomy and a bigger share of gas-rich Baluchistan's resources launched an insurgency in late 2004.
