A two-feet stretch of the railway line between Saryab and Sapizand was damaged in the powerful blast near the provincial capital, The News quoted railway officials as saying.

Pakistan blast kills spy-agency workers

Suicide bombers today hit a bus carrying intelligence-agency employees at a checkpoint near the headquarters of the Pakistan army in Rawalpindi, just south of the capital Islamabad, killing at least 35 people.

A senior intelligence official, who asked for anonymity because of the sensitivity of his work, said at least 35 people were killed.

The violence comes as Pakistan remains under a state of emergency declared on Nov. 3 by President Gen. Pervez Musharraf, who cited the escalating danger posed by Islamic extremists.

Attack on ISI bus shows militants have access to to intelligence (inside informer or help). The exact number of casualties, their names & ranks are not released. Agreement has been reached between Sharifs & Musharraf. Musharraf will stay as president & take off uniform, Shabaz to be PM(who will be acceptable to US & religious parties). Military (Kiyani) still will be the puppet master & yield power.

Six killed in Pakistan madrassa bomb blast
3 Dec 2007, 1527 hrs IST,AFP
QUETTA, Pakistan: A powerful bomb ripped through an Islamic madrassa in troubled south-western Pakistan on Monday, killing six people and injuring five others, an official said.

The bomb was hidden in a bundle of clothing left by an Afghan student after an overnight stay at the religious school in Qilla Saifullah, a town near the Afghan border in Baluchistan province, they said.

"Six people were killed and five others injured, all of them students at the Imdadul Uloom seminary, when a bomb hidden in the bundle exploded during a search," provincial home secretary Furqan Bahadur said.

Police sealed all roads in and out of the town in a bid to track down the Afghan national.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the blast. Baluchistan and its capital city Quetta have been pinpointed by Western and Afghan officials across the border as a key hideout of Taliban militants leading a spiralling insurgency in Afghanistan.

Pakistan says it is doing all it can to tackle the problem and says the roots of the insurgency are in Afghanistan.

Gas-rich Baluchistan has also been in the grip of a separate, three-year insurgency launched by ethnic Baluch rebels who want more political rights and a greater share of profits from the region's natural resources.

Was this a "moderate" madrassah?

Or simply a case of criminal elements being harbored there accidentally detonating toys they shouldn't have been playing with?
