Bicycle bomb kills two civilians in Pakistan

A bicycle bomb apparently targeting security forces killed two people and injured nine others in Pakistan\'s troubled southwestern province of Balochistan on Tuesday, police said. The device exploded on the road from Balochistan\'s provincial capital Quetta to the airport as a convoy of the government paramilitary Frontier Corps (FC) passed nearby. “Two people passing by were killed in the blast and nine others wounded. The injured also included three FC soldiers,” Wazir Khan Nasir, a senior police official said. Another police official Zubair Mehmood told the media that the blast occurred five kilometres (three miles) outside Quetta. “The FC convoy was a target apparently. Around five kilograms (11 pounds) of explosive was installed in the bicycle parked roadside. It exploded when the FC convoy passed nearby,” he said.
