Unidentified gunmen shot dead a judge along with his driver and police bodyguard here on Thursday in a suspected sectarian attack, police said. The incident took place when Zulfiqar Naqvi was travelling to his office. "Gunmen were waiting for him at a railway crossing, the moment the car slowed down, the assailants sprayed bullets and fled," senior police officer Wazir Khan Nasir told AFP.
"The target of the attack was the judge and it appeared to be a sectarian incident." Khalid Mazoor, another senior police officer, confirmed the killings and added the gunmen were riding a motorbike.
