Suicide bombing in Pakistan kills nine policemen

At least nine policemen have been killed and several wounded in a suicide attack in southwest Pakistan's Balochistan province.

Ijaz Ahmad, spokesperson for the local police said media the attack took place in Sibbi, a city some 160 km east of Quetta, the capital of Balochistan province.
Hospital officials said at least seven policemen were injured in the attack, the latest in a series targeting security personnel in Pakistan.
No group has claimed responsibility for Monday's attack. Ethnic Baloch guerrillas have been fighting the government for decades, accusing it of exploiting Balochistan's rich gas and mineral resources.
