QUETTA: A suicide bomber rammed a motorcycle into a police truck in southwestern Pakistan today, killing nine policemen, a police spokesman said.
Spokesman Mehmood Khan Notizai told Reuters the attack took place in Sibbi, a city some 160km east of Quetta, the capital of Balochistan province.
Hospital officials said at least seven policemen were wounded in the attack, the latest in a series targeting police personnel in Pakistan.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack.
Ethnic Baloch guerrillas have been fighting the government for decades, accusing it of exploiting Balochistan’s rich gas and mineral resources.
