Pakistan bomb blasts hit intelligence agency in Sukkur


At least four people were killed and 30 injured in an apparent bomb attack on government security agencies in Pakistan's Sindh province.


Gunmen detonated four bombs near the offices of the Pakistani intelligence agency and other security forces in the town of Sukkur, state TV reports.


Sporadic gunfire was reportedly heard in the area following the explosions.


Sukkur is located around 500 km (310 miles ) from Karachi, the main city in Sindh province.


The attackers seized control of one of the government buildings while another office was still under fire, according to the state-run Pakistan Television Corporation (PTV).


The roof of a third building was reported to have collapsed, with people feared trapped beneath the rubble.


Police sent reinforcements to the area, officials said, adding that it was not yet clear who was behind the assault.
