Police foil attack on Quetta imambargah
2010-03-09
[Dawn] Unknown assailants opened fire at an imambargah in Quetta on Monday injuring one FC official who was later shifted to a hospital.

Earlier, police foiled an attack on the same imambargah which also killed the attacker.

According to police officials, the attacker was killed after he fired three bullets at the time of prayers at the Imambargah Punjabia situated on Quetta's Qambrani road.

The attacker intended to targeted the imam but missed. The security guard retaliated, killing the attacker.

The attacker's body was then shifted for further interrogation.

#1  As I recall, being the imam for a popular imambargah (mosque?) can be quite a lucrative situation, and so the jostling for position would naturally be fierce. Possibly what's going on here?
