Car bomb detonated in the City of Quetta

On 27 October 2008 a car bomb was detonated in the City of Quetta near the neighbourhood where government offices are housed. Reports state that at least two people were killed when the bomb exploded in the Liaquat Bagh neighbourhood of the city. Eyewitnesses state that the bomb was powerful enough to have damaged nearby buildings and vehicles. No claim of responsibility has yet been issued in relation to the attack; however, Baluch nationalists have been waging a long-standing campaign for autonomy for their province.
