Gunmen shot dead three workers of Benazir Bhutto's opposition party in a pre-dawn attack Saturday in Naseerabad amid campaigning for January polls, police said. The shooting occurred in the Pakistan People's Party's (PPP) office in Naseerabad district, 240 kilometres east of Quetta, local police officer Maula Dad said.
"Some unidentified men entered the PPP office and sprayed bullets on men sleeping there, killing three of them and injuring another," the officer said. Police said it could be linked to old rivalry between two groups locked in a land dispute, one supporting the PPP and the other backing rival candidate for the January 8 general elections.
