Gunmen kill two Hazaras in Quetta

Gunmen riding a motorcycle killed two members of Shia Hazaras on Monday in an apparent sectarian attack, police said. The killing took place in the suburbs of Quetta, while the victims were travelling in a rickshaw. "Gunmen on a motorcycle stopped the rickshaw and then opened fire on them and fled the scene," Abdullah Jan Afridi, a senior police officer in Quetta, told AFP.
Afridi said the pair, from the Hazara ethnic group, were labourers in a coalmine. The rickshaw driver was unhurt in the attack in the Saryab road area. "We are investigating but apparently it is a sectarian attack," Afridi said.
