The Baloch Hal News

QUETTA: A senator of Pakistan Muslim League (Quaid-e-Azam faction) Senator Mir Mohabbat Khan Maari and his convoy escaped an attempt on their lives in Kohlu on Saturday, the official news agency reported.

According to details, unknown men had placed a bomb along the road side that went off barely a minute apart after the convoy of Senator Mir Mohabbat Khan Marri passed by the area. Marri is a staunch critic of Baloch nationalists and the ongoing armed struggle in the province.

Though the blast caused no damage, local authorities said they believed Marri was the actual target of a plot meant to execute a political murder.

No one has accepted responsibility for the attempt on the senator’s life.
