Car Bomb Kills 2 Near Women's College in Pakistan

Published November 17, 2014

Police say a car bomb exploded near a women's college in southwestern Pakistan, killing two people and wounding 12 others.

Police officer Hamid Shakil says the bomb appears to have been detonated Monday by a timing device. The car was parked near a women's college in Quetta, the capital of Baluchistan province.

Shakil did not say who is suspected of carrying out the attack or indicate the target.

Baluchistan has experienced frequent attacks by nationalists who demand a greater share of the province's natural resource wealth but car bomb attacks are rare.

The province, which borders Afghanistan, is also widely believed to be home for many Afghan Taliban militants, including the group's leader, Mullah Omar.
