Pakistani police say another person was wounded in the attack on a laundry facility Saturday in a busy area of Quetta, the capital of restive Baluchistan province bordering Afghanistan and Iran. There was no immediate claim of responsibility. Baluchistan is home to militant groups including pro-Taliban factions, and Baluch separatists who are fighting a low-level insurgency in hopes of gaining political autonomy and a greater share of the profits from the region's natural resources. Some information for this report was provided by AP, AFP and Reuters. __________________________________________________________________ [1]http://www.voanews.com/content/8-dead-in-pakistan-shooting/1246277.h tml References 1. http://www.voanews.com/content/8-dead-in-pakistan-shooting/1246277.html
