A roadside bomb in southwest Pakistan kills 2 children and a woman

QUETTA, Pakistan (AP) — Officials in southwest Pakistan say a roadside bomb attached to a motorcycle went off near a police office, killing two children and a woman and wounding 15 people. No one has immediately claimed responsibility for the attack Saturday in Pishin, a district in Balochistan province. Suspicion is likely to fall on separatist groups that have stepped up attacks in recent months. A police official said the wounded included police and passersby, some of whom were hospitalized in critical condition. Baluchistan has been the scene of a low-level insurgency by groups demanding independence from the central government in Islamabad.
