| 2011-10-04 |
| Gunmen opened fire on a bus in south-west Pakistan, killing 13 people and wounding six others. Four gunmen on motorbikes, armed with automatic weapons, opened fire on the bus near the city of Quetta, near the borders of Iran and Afghanistan. Most of the victims were Shiite Muslims of Hazara ethnicity and were traveling to a fruit and vegetable market in nearby Hazara Ganji. Local police official Hamid Shakeel said, "Four gunmen riding two motorcycles opened fire on a bus in the outskirts of Quetta. The death toll has risen to 13. Two of the injured who were in critical condition died in hospital. Now 12 Shiite Muslims and one Pashtun have been killed in the attack." Television footage showed the bus engulfed in flames, with passengers' luggage seen scattered around the site. Police sealed off the site of the attack as 400 outraged Hazaras demonstrated outside the Bolan Medical Complex where the injured were taken. |

| #3 and despite years and years of these attacks, all of which were claimed by Islamic groups, many Paks will blame this on the US |

| #2 Nice of the shiites to gather/travel in compact groups. Makes the massacres by crazed Pak killers easier |
