A powerful car bomb exploded at one of Pakistan’s biggest construction projects on Monday, killing three Chinese technicians and wounding 11 people in what the President called a ‘‘barbaric act of terrorism’’. A parked car exploded as a vehicle carrying 12 Chinese drove by in Gawadar in Baluchistan Province. Police in Gawadar, 480 km west of Karachi, said three Chinese men were killed and nine were wounded, four seriously. Two Pakistanis were also hurt.

Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf wrote to his Chinese counterpart, Hu Jintao, vowing the ‘‘severest punishment’’ for those responsible. —(Reuters)
