Nine shot dead as riots continue in Balochistan

ISLAMABAD - At least nine people, including a policeman, were killed Saturday as the riots over the assassination of three ethnic political leaders continued for a third day in Pakistan's south-western Balochistan province.

A police official said the bodies of six coal miners were found in outskirts of provincial capital Quetta. "The attackers first kidnapped the poor labourers, shot them dead and dumped their bodies in the mountains in Marwar area," police investigator Barkatullah Khan said.

That's not a 'riot' ...

He said two of the victims were from North Western Frontier Province and four from the Pakistani part of the Kashmir region. "Apparently the incident seems part of ongoing violence," Khan added.

Unknown attackers shot dead a policeman in the town of Quetta, where two civilians also died and two were injured in various incidents of violence. The markets remained closed across the province and nationalists held protest rallies in many cities.

#4 The three Balochi chiefs were arrested by Pak intelligence and their bodies later dumped.

Funny how not a single Taliban leader has had the same treatment even though they operate openly.
