ISLAMABAD — A roadside bomb explosion in Pakistan’s southwestern Baluchistan province Saturday killed at least one person and injured 14 others. Officials said the attack targeted surveyors from a major‚ private gas-producing company and Pakistani security forces escorting them in the Harnai district‚ 170 kilometers (106 miles) northeast of the provincial capital of Quetta. Javed Domki‚ the district deputy commissioner‚ confirmed the casualties to VOA by phone. He said the injured were airlifted to a Quetta military hospital‚ where some of them were in “critical condition.” Several personnel of Pakistan’s paramilitary Frontier Corps force were among the victims‚ he said. There were no immediate claims of responsibility for the bombing in turbulent Baluchistan‚ which is rich in natural resources. The Pakistani province has experienced a surge in insurgent attacks in recent days. The so-called Baluch Liberation Army‚ an outlawed group‚ has claimed credit for plotting much of the violence. Last week‚ ethnic Baluch insurgents assaulted a key Pakistan naval air base and a government complex in the Turbat and Gwadar districts‚ respectively. The ensuing clashes killed several security personnel and a dozen insurgents in both attacks. Gwadar is home to a China-run‚ deep-water Arabian Sea port‚ central to a multibillion-dollar bilateral collaboration under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor‚ or CPEC‚ an extension of Beijing’s global Belt and Road Initiative infrastructure program. Thousands of Chinese engineers and laborers are associated with CPEC and other Chinese-funded projects in Pakistan. On Tuesday‚ a suicide car bombing in a northwestern mountain Pakistan region killed five Chinese engineers and their local driver. No group claimed responsibility for the attack‚ but Pakistani officials suspect militants linked to an Afghanistan-based terrorist group‚ the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan‚ or TTP‚ was behind it. The TTP distanced itself from the bombing‚ saying its violence campaign targets only Pakistani security forces.

Hollywood star Hugh Grant definitely got everyone’s attention after he recently let it slip that he has considered embarking on a new career in politics During the 63-year-old actor’s interview with Entertainment Weekly‚ the “Notting Hill” star said he was never “interested in politics at all until” he was about 50. “I sneered at politics‚ and then‚ I found myself campaigning about the abuse of power in the British tabloid press here in the U.K‚” Grant explained. “I spent an awful lot of time in the House of Parliament lobbying politicians and got to know them up close and see what weird specimens they were or became in the course of their careers.” “Very often starting with conviction and passion and ending up a couple of decades later‚ these slightly monstrous professionals of the political game of snakes and ladders‚” the “Wonka” star continued. “Their priorities were 1.) their own career‚ 2.) their own party and smashing the other party‚ and somewhere‚ way down the list‚ was what’s good for the country.”   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Page Six (@pagesix) The British actor admitted‚ after years of playing a politician in movies like “Love Actually‚” it “has crossed my mind” to get into politics. “But what I really see close up is that it’s almost impossible to actually get anything done‚” Grant said. “It’s just impossible. You’ve got to bring so many people with you.” He said whenever the “subject” of running comes up‚ his wife Anna Elisabet Eberstein’s mother‚ Susanne Eberstein‚ who previously served as a member of the Swedish parliament‚ tells him don’t do it. “She just says‚ ‘Don’t. You have to water down everything. It’s all horse trading. And nowadays the incoming abuse is unthinkable‚'” Grant explained. “In 2019‚ the last general election here in the U.K.‚ I did mount a tiny campaign to try and persuade people to vote tactically because in our electoral system‚ this was the way to prevent Boris [Johnson] and company getting back into power‚” he added. “I campaigned in a few marginal constituencies for whoever was the closest rival to the Conservative candidate. Actually‚ I did very badly. We lost in every single constituency.” The “Two Weeks Notice” star said during his brief political stint he learned “you have to be either very brave or insane to go into politics in the digital age.” In “Love Actually‚” Grant played a single Prime Minister of the United Kingdom in the popular 2003 romantic comedy‚ alongside a host of stars such as Emma Thompson‚ Colin Firth‚ Liam Neeson‚ and Keira Knightley. More recently‚ the actor played the leader of the opposition in the political satire miniseries “The Regime‚” CNN noted.

President Joe Biden’s re-election campaign is reaching out to voters who sided with one of former President Donald Trump’s top Republican primary opponents. On Friday‚ the Biden campaign released an ad targeting Nikki Haley supporters‚ spending $1 million on the effort to court voters who appear disillusioned by another Trump nomination‚ The Washington Post reported. Haley was the last of Trump’s GOP opponents to drop out of the race when she ended her campaign earlier this month‚ and she has not endorsed the former president. “If you voted for Nikki Haley‚ Donald Trump doesn’t want your vote‚” the Biden campaign ad says. “Save America. Join us.” The ad also plays clips of Trump commenting on Haley‚ such as him calling her “birdbrain‚” and saying she “has made an unholy alliance with RINOs [and] never-Trumpers.” The ad will run for three weeks across digital platforms in battleground states‚ campaign officials said‚ according to the Post. Seven states are considered the top battleground races in the 2024 election‚ according to RealClearPolitics. As of Saturday morning‚ Trump leads Biden in all seven states‚ per the RCP average of polling data. During the GOP primary race‚ Haley — whom Trump tapped to serve as U.S. ambassador to the U.N. during his administration — became critical of her former boss‚ saying he is responsible for “chaos” and failure within the Republican Party. In her speech announcing her campaign suspension‚ Haley said Trump has work to do to “earn the votes of those in our party and beyond it who did not support him.” “And I hope he does that‚” Haley added. “At its best‚ politics is about bringing people into your cause‚ not turning them away. And our conservative cause badly needs more people. This is now his time for choosing.” After Haley dropped out of the presidential race‚ Trump reached out a hand to Haley voters‚ writing in a social media post that he would “like to invite all of the Haley supporters to join the greatest movement in the history of our Nation.” That invite came after the former president warned in January that “Anybody that makes a ‘Contribution’ to Birdbrain‚ from this moment forth‚ will be permanently barred from the MAGA camp.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP During her campaign‚ Haley received thousands of donations from people who supported Biden in 2020‚ POLITICO reported.  Trump easily secured the nomination over Haley‚ who has won just 94 delegates compared to Trump’s 1‚686. Candidates had to reach 1‚215 delegates to win the Republican nomination‚ a threshold Trump crossed on March 12.
