Pakistani police foil suicide attack

Source: CNN

Islamabad, Pakistan -- Pakistani police foiled a suicide attack Tuesday in the southwestern city of Quetta when they killed five militants laden with explosives.

Police stopped the three women and two men after they pulled up to a checkpoint, said Daud Junejo, police chief in Quetta, the capital of restive Balochistan province. The five threatened police, telling them they were suicide bombers.

They sped away, but police and federal paramilitary forces of the Frontier Corps chased and intercepted them at the next checkpoint. Police opened fire and killed all five, Junejo said.
