Two bombs struck a passenger train minutes apart in southwest Pakistan on Friday, killing at least six people and wounding 19, officials said. Ahmad said the train was heading to the garrison city of Rawalpindi in the eastern province of Punjab from Quetta, the provincial capital of Baluchistan, at the time. No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, but separatist groups in the province have claimed similar attacks in the past. The government says it's trying to improve people's welfare in the province and bring the separatists into mainstream politics. Railways Minister Khawaja Saad Rafique denounced the bombing as "an act of terrorism" and said authorities were still trying to determine how the bomb was planted on the train.
