Gunmen ambushed the motorcade of the top government official in Pakistan’s southwestern Baluchistan province, killing a policeman and injuring two other officers, police and security officials said. The politician escaped unharmed.
The attack occurred near the town of Khuzdar, scene of an earlier attack on soldiers, said Tariq Javed, the local police chief. Chief Minister Jam Mohammed Yousuf, the head of government for the province, was not injured in the attack, Javed said. The motive remained unclear.
