Quetta blast kills three

At least three people have died in an explosion that ripped through a narrow, crowded street in Quetta, the capital of the Pakistani province of Baluchistan, on Monday.

Police say at least 16 other people were injured in the blast from a bomb planted on a bicycle outside a cinema.

It was the second bomb explosion in Pakistan in three days - no group has admitted carrying out the attacks.

At least seven people died on Saturday, when a bomb went off near a school in the eastern Pakistani city of Gujrat.
