Pakistan opposition party leader, 2 others killed in bomb blast
By   Allen Cone

Sept. 28 (UPI) -- A bomb blast Saturday in Pakistan's southwestern province of Balochistan killed three people, including an opposition leader, and injured 17 others, local authorities said.

Maulana Mohammad Hanif, a leader of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam party, died in the explosion, which occurred in front of the JUI-F leader's office near the border with Afghanistan, police said, according to Geo News.

A 12-year-old child also died, Chaman district police officer Shaukat Mohmand told Dawn News.

Whatever the deal is, it's this "Balochistan" that is a very restless province in Pakistan. And in saying that, I'm not sure if all of the trouble is per "Islamic militants", it might be something else, one ethnicity is bigger than the other, maybe they don't share a common religion so there is trouble over that too.
