Pakistan's energy sector attacked KARACHI, Jan 15 (AFP) A series of violent attacks on the energy infrastructure in Pakistan's strategic southwest could have a major backlash on various multi-billion gas pipeline projects, industry experts said. Pakistan this week sent more than 1,000 troops to the country's largest gasfield in poverty-stricken Baluchistan province and closed the main plant there after a series of clashes with tribesmen left eight people dead. Violence erupted five days ago at the state-run Sui gas facility, which the tribesmen - who have long campaigned for more royalties and jobs from the plant - said followed the alleged gang rape of a woman doctor. |
