Karachi: An eight-year-old boy was killed and nine others were injured on Sunday after a bomb planted in a car exploded in Pakistan's troubled Baluchistan province.
The bomb was planted in the car parked on a market street in Chaman town, close to the Afghan border, and was detonated by a remote control, police said.
In the powerful blast, a child identified as Zabihullah was killed while nine others were injured, senior police official Habib Baluch said.
The blast also destroyed two vehicles and a motorcycle. It was not yet clear who was behind the attack. Chaman town is one of the two main crossing points for supplies for American and NATO troops fighting Taliban in Afghanistan.
Baluchistan, Pakistan's largest but least developed and most sparsely populated province, has been racked for decades by a separatist insurgency that was revived in 2004.
