Karachi: At least 20 people were injured today in a grenade attack targeting an election office of the Baluchistan Awami Party in Pakistan’s restive Baluchistan province. Unidentified men riding on motorcycles hurled hand grenades at the BAP election office, injuring 20 people.

This is the second terror attack on the BAP in the province after the party suffered massive casualties on July 13 when a suicide bomber killed around 150 people and injured some 200 at a election meeting in Mastung district. The suicide bomber also killed BAP candidate Nawab Siraj Raisani.

Earlier in the day, a senior leader of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf party, Ikramullah Gandapur was killed in a suicide bomb attack on his vehicle in Dera Ismail Khan. Gandapur was targeted near his residence as he was going to a election corner meeting.
