Gunmen kill schoolteacher, family members in Panjgur

Gunmen Wednesday killed a teacher and five members of his family in Turbat, officials said, adding that rebels were believed responsible. The attack happened in the Panjgur, about 650 miles (1,000 kilometres) west of the provincial capital of Quetta. "Gunmen stormed the house of Abdul Hameed, a schoolteacher, shooting him and five of his family members present at the house," Mumtaz Ali, a senior administration official, told AFP. The attackers fled after the killings.
Another senior administration official confirmed the account and said Hameed had had problems with the Baloch Liberation Front, which had accused him of spying for the intelligence agencies. He added that the teacher had come under suspicion because he had been posted from another part of the province.
