Militants blow up gas pipeline in
Balochistan
Islamabad: Suspected tribal militants blew up a pipeline running between two gas fields early Thursday in the latest incident of violence in Pakistan's troubled southwestern Balochistan province, officials said.
The incident occurred at around 2 a.m. local time in Kundkot area of Balochistan, when the militants allegedly detonated explosives, rupturing the 20-inch-diameter line.
The pipeline connects Zamzama gas field to Sui that distributes the fuel all over the country, meeting nearly 22 percent of the nationwide demand.
"According to our information, it is a terrorist act and the blast is not caused by any technical fault," the managing director of Sui Northern Gas, Rashid Lone, told reporters in Karachi.
Thursday's pipeline blast came hours after three paramilitary soldiers were killed in a roadside blast Wednesday evening in Dera Bugti area, some 56 km from Sui and blamed on the tribal militants.
