| [Pak Daily Times] A hit man on Thursday rubbed out four Shias in Balochistan, police said. The shooting took place in Quetta, the picturesque provincial capital. "The four Shia traders had just closed their shop and left for home when an unknown gunman opened fire on their car and bravely ran away," killing two people on the spot, senior local police official Hamid Shakeel told AFP. He said the other two people shuffled off the mortal coil on the way to hospital. No one had grabbed credit for the attack, Shakeel added. A second police official, Shaukat Ali, confirmed the incident. The assailants managed to escape from the scene. Names of the dear departed, who belonged to the Hazara tribe, could not be ascertained. Law enforcers reached the site and cordoned off the area. Police have started the paperwork but haven't done much else and started investigation. |
