A bomb killed one man and wounded seven others Wednesday in the capital of Pakistan's southwestern Baluchistan province, where rebel tribesmen have been blamed for waging a low-level insurgency in recent years, police said, according to AP. Two assailants on a motorcycle tried to hurl a homemade bomb into the offices of the state-run Geological Survey of Pakistan in Quetta, Baluchistan's capital, police officer Rehmatullah Niazi said. But the bomb struck the building's gate, bounced off and landed near a group of eight men standing in the street outside the offices, wounding all of them, Niazi said. A 60-year-old employee of the geological department, who was among the wounded, died later in a hospital. One of the seven other wounded people was in serious condition, Niazi said. Niazi blamed rebel tribesmen for the bombing, though he provided no evidence and no one claimed responsibility. The two attackers fled and no one has been arrested, he said.
