A Pakistani journalist and two other people were killed in car-bomb blast on May 2 in the Khuzdar district of southwestern Balochistan Province, 400 kilometers west of the provincial capital, Quetta. A police official told Radio Mashaal that the attack targeted Maulana Sediqullah Mengal, president of Khuzdar Press Club and member of a religious political party. CCTV footage showed a man riding a motorcycle alongside Mengal's car and attaching something to it then speeding off before the car explodes. No group has claimed responsibility. Reporters Without Borders once ranked Khuzdar as one of the world's top 10 most dangerous places for journalists. Copyright © May 2024. RFE/RL, Inc.
