Quetta [Pakistan], September 13 (ANI): Four people, including two policemen, were injured in two hand grenade attacks on police vehicles on Tuesday, Pakistan-based Dawn reported. 
According to officials, unknown miscreants riding motorcycles threw a grenade at a patrolling police vehicle in the Sariab Road area of Quetta. However, the grenade missed the target and exploded away from the vehicle. 
Police personnel travelling in the vehicle remained safe. However, two passers-by were injured in the grenade attack, Dawn reported. The injured people identified as Niazullah and Karim Nawaz were taken to Civil Hospital. 
Meanwhile, another grenade attack took place in the Hazar Ganji area, a locality on the outskirts of the provincial capital. The grenade attack took place an hour after the first attack in which motorcyclists hurled hand grenades at a police vehicle. Two police personnel were injured due to the explosion. 
The injured police and FC personnel were taken to Civil Hospital for treatment. The injured police personnel were identified as constables Jahanzeb and Mumtaz Hussain, according to Dawn. 
A senior police officer said, "A search operation has been launched in the area to arrest the elements involved in both grenade attacks."

MEA rejects Pakistan’s statement on India-Canada deal

"We reject this statement made by Pakistan on the matter. India's credentials regarding non-proliferation are impeccable and well recognised by the global community. A country with a well-documented history of clandestine nuclear proliferation can hardly preach the virtues of export controls and proliferation risks. Such ludicrous statements are nothing more than an attempt by Pakistan to distract from its own abysmal record," he said.
