Gas pipeline, well blown up

Rebels blew up a natural gas pipeline and a gas well in restive Balochistan on Friday, officials said, the latest in a wave of attacks in the mineral-rich province. "The 20-inch diameter pipeline was blown up early on Friday which connects 10 gas wells to a major gas purification plant in Dera Bugti district," Home Secretary Akbar Durrani told Reuters the pipeline had connected 10 gas wells to a major gas purification plant in Dera Bugti district.
It was not clear how much of the plant's production was disrupted or how much gas the wells supplied. Militants also blew up a gas well in Uch district. Baloch Republican Army claimed Friday's attack, its sixth in less than a week.
