Bombing on the Rails: A Pattern of Terror in Pakistan's Southwest A powerful bomb exploded near a railway track in Quetta, southwest Pakistan, wounding more than two dozen people.
The blast is part of a broader pattern of attacks on civilian targets in Balochistan province, which has long been plagued by sectarian violence.
