QUETTA (Web Desk) - The police chief of Balochistan province narrowly escaped a suicide attack Sunday that killed at least seven people and wounded 68 others.
Inspector General Mushtaq Sukhera had just entered his residence in the provincial capital Quetta when a suicide bomber in a explosive-laden vehicle blew himself up outside.
A huge amount of explosives were packed into the vehicle and the blast left a deep crater, with the explosion shattering nearby windows and sending debris flying, Home Secretary Akbar Durrani said.
Senior police official Mobin Ahmed told AFP the police chief was safe, while another police official said the blast was so loud it was heard all over the city.
