At least five people were killed and 20 others injured as a blast hit a university bus in Pakistan’ s southwest city of Quetta on Saturday afternoon, reported local media.

Local Urdu TV channel Dunya said that the blast took place at about 3:00 pm (local time) inside a women university in the Baruri area of Quetta, capital city of Balochistan province.

The students were boarding a bus parked inside Bahadur Khan Women University for going back home when the blast went off, eyewitnesses told local media.

The bus was completely destroyed in the explosion and a fire broke out following the blast, said the reports.

The dead and injured have been shifted to Bolan Medical Complex in the city.

Hospital sources said that all the five killed were female students and some of the injured were in critical condition.

Police and bomb disposal squad have reached the site shortly after the blast.

Initial investigation showed that it was a remote-controlled blast and the explosives were fixed inside the bus, said police.

No group has claimed responsibility for the blast yet.

    Taliban .. of course … Muslims … couldn’t kill the one girl who wanted an education even with two bullets to the head … so blow up a bus full of them instead. Their way or death. Idiots … but dangerous.

        Quite probable dateam … bombs do it all the time no matter which sect they are coming from or going to … and there are sects within sects to make it worse. Hard to be a ‘moderate’ … whatever that is.
        And as I’ve said before … little dictators climbing the ladder to ‘fatwah-leadership’.

            Sad, dateam … sounds like a kid after my own heart. First impulse when faced with stupidity was always to crack a joke – or bounce back a similar stupidity … departed wife had to give me the elbow a few times to keep us ‘safe’ in some circumstances. (like airports 😉 Best to know ‘where, how, and when’ to mount an argument, of course.
            Feudal Japan was similar – when the Samurai was ‘top’ and was the only one allowed to carry the ‘killing sword’. Mind you, he could take off a head for a personal insult – but also knew if he killed all his workers he wouldn’t eat well.
            I assume the idiot in this case didn’t get his coffee. Unfortunate the kid felt his parents needed the money from the coffee sale to live, and expressed that need in what would be perceived as an insulting way, to the brainwashed jerk who thinks he’s acting for God – while also thinking he should get free coffee for that.
            (We need a lot more young boys with that mentality…)

            Dateam … speaking of coffee – and away from this story and the God-bits that some people here think I put opinion out on too often … a personal ‘human’ story for entertainment, OF a better time. (Memories that shape us 🙂

            I’m travelling alone … sitting in the Beirut airport of the 90’s waiting to leave.
            I REALLY crave a last good coffee …
            A man, and his young son who should be in school, run an excellent coffee-bar, but as I approach the bar I discover that I actually have no LL in notes OR change in the pocket. I planned too carefully 😉 HORRORS !! I only find a couple of shiny Canuk Loonies.
            But I am at the counter searching the pocket – the man asks what I want.
            I say I wanted a coffee … but have nothing except Canadian money.
            He says he doesn’t take it.
            I have to shrug my shoulders, and say ‘sorry’ and begin to walk away.
            He calls me back … makes a great coffee, and puts it on the counter.
            ‘You’re welcome’, he says. (we recognize Lebanon in that, right? 🙂
            So I put the coins on the counter. He waves them off … I leave them anyway and walk away with the cup, saying ‘Thank You’, of course. I look back in time to see him throw them to the young boy – who must think they are gold because he bites one … but he keeps them. 🙂
            I often wonder if that boy, who is now an adult, still has a dull but curious coin in his possession, and maybe remembers how his father was.
            How Lebanon was … and could be. Civil.

            Addendum: Coffee happily in hand, I chatted up a cute Dutch Lady in UN Uniform until time to board the plane. 🙂 A world of memories up there in the old head. :-)))
