group has grabbed credit for killing a member of Pakistain's minority Sikh community earlier in the week in the northwestern city of Beautiful Downtown Peshawar
...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, administrative and economic hub for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistain's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire...An IS statement issued late Friday described Satnam Singh, 45, as ``polytheist'' and said he was rubbed out by IS members.
Pak officials have denied any organized IS presence in the country but the bully boy group has claimed a number of attacks on security forces, mosques, political rallies and religious minorities in recent years.
Police said Singh was bumped off Thursday in Peshawar, the scenic provincial capital of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province bordering Afghanistan. The button men expeditiously departed at a goodly pace.
Singh, an herbalist, had lived in the city for the past 20 years and ran a small clinic selling herbal medicine.
The assailants shot up Singh inside the clinic, according to Sardar Harpal Singh, a local community leader. He denounced the incident and demanded the arrest of those involved in the killing. The two are not related.
The majority of Sikhs migrated from what is now Pakistain to neighboring India in 1947, the year British rule of the subcontinent ended and Pakistain was created as a homeland for Moslems in the region. Thousands of them stayed in Pakistain, where they generally live peacefully. But isolated attacks on religious minorities including Sikhs have continued.
