Four more shot dead in Quetta violence.
Last Updated On 10 November,2012 About 51 minutes ago

Gunmen shot dead four more people and wounded three others Saturday in a fresh sectarian attack.


According to police, the shooting took place in the provincial capital Quetta which is rich in oil and gas deposits but deeply impoverished and unstable.

"Six persons from the Shiite Hazara community were passing from the Jinnah road in a taxicab when they were targeted by two gunmen waiting for them at a traffic signal," Anwar Ali, a senior police official told AFP.

"Two persons were killed at the spot while one succumbed to his injuries in the hospital. The gunmen fled the crime scene on a motorcycle," he said.

Another local police official who reached the crime scene soon after the incident confirmed the toll.

Baluchistan is rife with Islamist militancy, sectarian violence between majority Sunnis and minority Shiite Muslims and a regional insurgency waged by separatists.

On Tuesday gunmen shot dead three Shiite Muslims from the Hazara community in a similar attack in Quetta which also left two others wounded.

Violence has surged in the province this year and human rights activists have raised concerns about an increase in targeted killings.

In September the advocacy group Human Rights Watch said more than 100 Shiites had been killed in sectarian attacks in Baluchistan this year.

2 Members of security forces killed in Pakistan.
Published November 13, 2012

Two members of Pakistan's Frontier Corps died Tuesday when a pre-positioned bomb exploded as their vehicle was driving by in the western city of Quetta, a police commander told Efe.
The attack occurred about noon on the road linking the city to the airport. The bomb was placed on board a motorcycle that was parked along the road and detonated just as the FC vehicle passed by, Mohammed Rafiq said.
Eleven other people, including civilians, were wounded in the blast, he said.
Quetta is the capital of strife-racked Baluchistan, Pakistan's poorest province despite the fact that it possesses substantial natural resources like gas and minerals.
Shortly after the creation of Pakistan in 1947, several armed groups began operating in the region fighting for secession or for greater autonomy, and Taliban factions and other jihadist groups have taken refuge in the northern part of the zone.
Sectarian attacks against the Shiite minority alternate with frequent attacks by separatist militias against the security forces and government officials. EFE

PESHAWAR/MIRANSHAH: Separate roadside bombs killed a total of five people and wounded 10 on Sunday in two separate blasts in Pakistan’s lawless tribal zone near the Afghan border, officials said.

A bomb targeting a security forces’ convoy exploded in Mir Ali area of North Waziristan, killing two security personnel and injuring seven others, DawnNews reported.

A security forces’ convoy was on routine patrol when it came under the attack of a remotely-detonated improvised explosive device planted near the road in Mir Ali area, 35 kilometres east of North Waziristan’s main town of Miramshah.

“The explosion killed at least two soldiers and injured seven others,” a security official in Miranshah said on condition of anonymity.

The two security personnel died on the spot as a result of the intense blast.

Another local security official confirmed the attack and said two of some 10 to 15 vehicles in the convoy were severely damaged.

While talking to Dawn sources, the Tehrik-i-Taliban’s Jundullah group claimed responsibility for the blast and claimed that the attack was to avenge the death of their slain comrade Ahmed Bengali who was earlier killed in a drone strike in North Waziristan.

Meanwhile, at least three labourers were killed and three wounded Sunday in an explosion caused by a roadside bomb in the Shin Qamar area of Khyber tribal region, said senior local official Nasir Khan.

He said the bomb went off as the labourers, who were carrying construction materials on mules, passed by. Local intelligence officials also confirmed the incident.

Pakistan’s semi-autonomous tribal belt is made up of seven agencies. Taliban and al Qaeda-linked militants are said to have carved out strongholds in North Waziristan.
