Gunmen attacked a military vehicle in Pakistan's southwestern Baluchistan province on Saturday, killing four paramilitary troops, a security official said. A shadowy militant group later claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it was in response to a planned military build-up in the province. The gunmen fired at least three rockets at a vehicle near Turbat, 800 km (500 miles) southeast of the provincial capital, Quetta, said Colonel Rizwan Malik of the paramilitary Frontier Corps. "The vehicle was attacked in the early hours. They used rockets and also ambushed the vehicle," Malik said. "Four soldiers were killed and four were wounded." The vehicle was returning from a routine security patrol.
