The blast occurred in the city of Sawai on January 30 and was apparently caused by a motorcycle bomb, deputy police chief Inayat Bangalzai told RFE/RL's Radio Mashaal. It was not immediately clear whether the blast was meant to target participants in the rally. Pakistan holds elections on February 8. To read the original story by RFE/RL's Radio Mashaal, click here.
