Acid attack injures three women in southwest Pakistan QUETTA, Pakistan — Three women in southwest Pakistan were injured in an acid attack over a family dispute, officials said Wednesday as police carried out raids to apprehend the suspects. The attack took place Tuesday night in the Pishin district of the restive province of Baluchistan around 50 kms from the provincial capital Quetta. Hundreds of acid attacks are recorded every year in Pakistan but are a relatively new phenomenon in Baluchistan, with the handful of cases recorded prior to this latest one linked to Islamist groups rather than so-called ‘honor’. Local administration official Bashir Bazai told AFP: “Three women sustained injuries in an acid attack incident in Killi Huramzai area of district Pishin.” — Reuters
