4 Shiites Shot Dead By Gunmen

Four Shiite members have reportedly been shot dead by unknown gunmen.

Pakistani police say the Shiite members in the Balochistan province were killed on Sunday between the provincial capital Quetta and Chaman.

This, according to the police, is the latest attack of sectarian violence in the restive region.

“Two men died on the spot, one on the way to hospital and one passed away in hospital,” Amin Jaffar, local police official told Pakistani journalists.

“The preliminary investigation shows that it was sectarian-based targeted killings as the family belongs to the Hazara community and was coming from Afghanistan,” said Amjad Ali Khan, a police commissioner from Quetta.
