                         47 Killed in Pakistan Bombing

   Pakistani police say 47 people were killed and more than 100 others
   wounded in a bombing targeting Shi`ite in southwestern Pakistan.
   A senior police officer says the bomb was detonated Saturday by remote
   control in a Shi`ite-dominated area of the city of Quota. He says most
   of the victims were Shi`ite, and that women and children were among
   those killed.
   Quota is the capital of Blotchiest province, where the Shi`ite minority
   has been attacked several times in recent months in sectarian violence.
   Islamic militants and the banned sectarian group Lashkar-e-Jhangvi are
   active in the province. Baluch nationalist groups are fighting an
   insurgency there to try to gain a greater share of income from the
   province`s gas and mineral resources.
   Sectarian violence claimed more than 400 lives in Pakistan last year.
