Zitat:Pakistan troops killed in ambush in Balochistan<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-15815853">http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-15815853</a><!-- m -->
At least 14 paramilitary soldiers have been killed and 10 injured after gunmen ambushed them in the south-western province of Balochistan, officials say.
The attack took place in the coal-rich Chamalang district, where clashes occurred in recent days. The army says that separatist rebels are behind the attack. Baloch rebels have been waging an insurgency for decades, fighting for greater political autonomy and a share of the province's natural resources. [...]
Balochistan, Pakistan's largest and most sparsely populated province, is rich in minerals and has vast untapped deposits of oil, gas, copper and gold. As well as a separatist insurgency, the province has also been affected by sectarian violence and Taliban suicide attacks.
