The car was travelling to Naudero after a court hearing when it came under attack, as a 14-year-old land dispute between two factions of the Khokhar tribe, from Goth Hassan Wahan, which has already claimed seven lives, flared up again.
Those killed on the spot were Allah Warayo Khokhar, his brother Mansoor Ali Khokhar, their uncle Ali Sher Khokhar, and the car’s driver, Ghulam Mohiuddin Manganejo. Their cousin, Yar Muhammad Khokhar, was critically injured in the firing.
