ISLAMABAD, Nov 14 (KUNA) -- A time-bomb explosion in Pakistani Southwestern city of Quetta on Monday evening killed at least two and wounded over 10, said police.
A time-bomb weighing eight kilograms attached to a cycle exploded with a huge bang in the crowded market of the Jinnah town, a local police official, Shabir Shah, told KUNA.
He said the explosion killed two persons including a minor girl and wounded more than 10 others.
