QUETTA, Pakistan (AP) - A magnitude 4.4 quake rattled parts of
southwestern Pakistan on Wednesday, injuring four people and damaging
several homes, an official said.

Panicked people came out of their homes after feeling the quake in Sibi
and Dhandar, two remote towns about 90 miles east of Quetta, said
Mohammed Nafay, a government official in the area.

He said the injured had been transported to a hospital, but gave no
further details.

Last year, a magnitude 7.6 quake killed 80,000 in northern Pakistan and
its part of Kashmir, and since then many quake survivors have been
living in tents donated by the world community.

Quetta is the capital of Baluchistan province.
