Four killed in Balochistan violence
QUETTA:
Four people, among them a woman, were killed in unabated violence in different neighbourhoods of the volatile Balochistan province on Saturday.
Men armed with machetes barged into a shop in the Satellite Town area of Quetta and knifed the shopkeeper, Noor Ahmed Qambarani, several times before fleeing the scene. Separately, a man committed suicide after killing his spouse in the Gandawa area of Jhal Magsi district. In Kalat, gunmen shot and fatally wounded one Mir Khan. The police registered a case against the unknown killers and started investigation.
Meanwhile, armed men fired a salvo of rockets at Qabul Khan village of Jaffarabad district. Four rockets were fired which landed in an unpopulated area causing no loss of life or damage to property, according to local officials.

Over 400 killed in Balochistan sectarian violence: Report
ISLAMABAD:
The government seems to be at a loss to explain the escalating sectarian strife in Balochistan, which has claimed more than 400 lives in more than 200 incidents of ethnic and sectarian violence in the past four years.
The decade-long insurgency recently turned into a battleground for politically motivated attacks on religious sects with banned outfit Lashkar-e-Jhangvi allegedly targeting the Shia and Hazara communities throughout the embattled province.
The provincial home department said in an official report last week that cross-border influence, among other factors, was fuelling the sectarian violence.
The official report which covers a period of four years states that over 400 Shias and Hazaras, who account for nearly a fifth of the countrys 170 million population lost their lives as a result of the aggression. Around 100 pilgrims have been killed in just the first half of the current year.
Another 450 people were injured in over 110 sectarian attacks from 2008 to 2011.
The increasing trend of violence is alarming. Over 120 members of the Shia and Hazara communities were gunned down last year while close to a 100 sustained injuries, compared to 81 fatalities and 200 casualties in 2010.
In 2009, 39 members of the Shia community were killed and 20 injured in over 30 incidents of ethnic violence, while only 15 were killed and 10 injured in 2008.
The police have arrested alleged terrorist Sher Dil, also known as Babu, for his reported ties with Lashkar-e-Jhangvi in a bid to curb the violence. Others who have been arrested include Hafiz Muhammad Usman alias Abbas, Dawood Badeeni, Jalil Ababkki and Shafiq Rind. However, some suspects such as Usman Saifullah and Ziaul Haq still remain at large.
Alleged terrorists Khalid Bungulzai and Majeed Langove are said to have been killed in police encounters and the government has constituted a high-level inquiry committee headed by the home minister of Balochistan to further probe the incident.
The provincial government has decided to refer the investigation of sensitive cases to the Crime Investigation Department and called for a review of the regulations pertaining to the movement of pilgrims under the Travel Agency Act, 1976.
The provincial home secretary also held meetings with the Iranian consul general. Both sides agreed to beef-up security arrangements from Quetta to Taftan and discussed possible arrangements for facilitating the movement of members of the Hazara community between Marriabad to Hazara Town and Hazar Ganji.

you created this cancer. YOU are worse than this cancer. They beheaded 17 people, You BOMB wedding parties everyday. How many families get into trauma? Your soldiers get up in the night, wipe out entire villages and nothing happens to them. You people burn our Quran and nothing happens. YOUR people RAPE women, Kill entire FAMILIES and then MAKE A SONG about it and post it on youtube, AND NOTHING HAPPENS. You shell innocent people and journalists and when the video leaks out, you jail the person who leaked the video.. and the soldiers.. nothing happens to those b@stards.
SO You EFFING Shut up and GET Out of all the lands you HAVE occupied (or "brought democracy to") and stop stealing their oil and wealth.

How did the moderators allow this piece of ***** to be published and to remain unpunished? I have protested against American policies and excesses, but this is not civilized. It is just downright vulgar.
If some one says the same thing about a Pakistan General, by this time he/she would have been banned, Moderators are requested to take action against this particular person.

KHAR: A paramilitary official was killed and four others were injured in a remote-controlled blast in the Bara Kamangra area of Nawagai tehsil in Bajaur on Tuesday.
An official of the Nawagai Political Administration said that Frontier Corps (FC) personnel had launched a search operation in the area after an early morning blast. A second blast occurred when a remote-controlled bomb detonated near the FC personnel, killing one of them on the spot and injuring four others.
The injured were rushed to the Agency Headquarters Hospital Khar, while security forces along with paramilitary troops rushed to the area and started another search operation. No suspects had been arrested.
The official killed in the blast was identified as Kaleemullah and those injured were identified as Noor Sher, Zafar Khan, Saddam and Rehmat Nawaz.

Border tensions: Afghan troops cross into Kurram, kill two tribesmen
PESHAWAR:
Officials accused Afghan soldiers on Monday of crossing into Pakistani territory and sparking clashes that killed two tribesmen and injured one other.
AFP quoted a senior official as saying that up to 60 Afghan soldiers entered Pakistani territory in what is the latest in a series of attacks inflaming tensions along the porous border.
Tribesmen Lahore Khan and Khwaja Din were shot dead while Gul Wazir was injured when Afghan troops opened fire on the men who were busy chopping down trees in the Inzarki area of Upper Kurram Agency, another official told The Express Tribune. He added that local tribesmen returned fire, forcing the troops to flee.
The firefight lasted for over 90 minutes after which Pakistani security forces were sent to the area, the senior official told AFP on condition of anonymity. Local residents said the Afghans were pursuing attackers fleeing Shehar-e-Nau village in Afghanistan’s Paktia province. Afghan defence officials, however, denied the alleged incursion.
“We are not aware of such an operation by the Afghan National Army (ANA) in that area,” Daulat Wazir, the spokesman for the Afghan defence ministry said.
Colonel Ahmad Jan, the spokesman for ANA’s corps 203 in southeastern Afghanistan said: “It is not true; our forces have not entered Pakistan. We have not had any operations near the border recently.”
The attacks have raised fresh concerns that Pakistani Taliban, who fled a 2009 army offensive, have regrouped and again pose a threat.
Meanwhile, officials said dozens of militants based in Afghanistan on Sunday attacked a check-post in Upper Dir for the second time in eight days.
Six militants were killed after crossing into Sabir Killey village in the Soni Darr area of Upper Dir, one official told AFP. “The firefight continued late into the night.”
Another official said there were reports that ‘hundreds of militants’ were gathering in Afghanistan’s eastern province of Kunar.
“Authorities have alerted local Lashkars (tribal militia) amid fears of a bigger clash,” he told AFP on condition of anonymity.

Senior official among three killed near Quetta
QUETTA:
A senior government official and two others were killed in a drive-by shooting on Wednesday on the outskirts of Kucklack, some 25 kilometres from the provincial capital.
Muhammad Saeed, the assistant director of local governments in Pishin district, and his office superintendent, Yasin, were travelling to Quetta from Pishin when gunmen fired on their car, police said. The pair died instantly and their driver sustained critical gunshot wounds.
The injured driver, identified as Muhammad Akbar, was driven to Quetta’s Civil Hospital – but he succumbed to his injuries, medics said. Muhammad Saeed belonged to Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa while Yasin was from Hazara community, a local ethnic Shia group. A purported spokesperson for the banned sectarian extremist outfit, Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, Abu Bakar Siddiq claimed responsibility for the triple murders in a phone call to journalists.
