RAWALPINDI, Pakistan, Sept 4 (Reuters) - Two bombs in the Pakistani city of Rawalpindi on Tuesday killed 24 people and wounded 66, a military spokesman said.

One bomb went off in a bus carrying Ministry of Defence employees on their way to work, said military spokesman, Major General Waheed Arshad.

The second blast involved a motorcycle. Rawalpindi is the sister city of Islamabad where the army has its headquarters and Islamabad's international airport is located.

"Both are terrorist acts and all of the dead and wounded are Pakistanis," he said.
