7 killed in two Pak suicide attacks

At least seven people were killed and several others wounded Thursday in two suicide attacks at a military checkpost in restive southwestern Pakistan, officials said.
As people converged on the scene of the first bombing near the provincial capital of Quetta, a second suicide bomber blew himself up, provincial police chief Saud Gohar told AFP.
Three soldiers and four civilians were killed, military spokesman Major General Waheed Arshad told AFP.
A senior security official said the death toll was 11, with seven military personnel killed, but the army spokesman declined to confirm this figure.
It was not immediately clear who carried out the attacks, which come just two days before President Pervez Musharraf is set to lift a controversial state of emergency he imposed last month, citing Islamist violence.
