Their vehicle was one of two patrolling in the Newano area, about 650km west of Quetta when hit by the rocket propelled grenade, he said. The force had launched a search for the attackers, Malik said. An anonymous caller identifying himself as âColonel Doda Baloch of the Baloch Liberation Armyâ, later said his group was responsible for the attack. The caller claimed 17 soldiers were killed in the attack, but refused to give further details. Pakistan's sparsely-populated southwest Baluchistan province is riven by unrest. Some tribals leaders oppose a government plan to establish at least three garrisons in the region, which is rich in natural resources. The low-level tribal uprising is also fuelled by resentment that foreign investors and richer neighbouring provinces are creaming off profits from the region. Earlier this month 11 people including an army soldier were killed when a powerful bomb exploded at a crowded market place in Quetta. Agence France-Presse enditem
