QUETTA: Gunmen shot dead three Shia Muslims on Wednesday in the southwestern city of Quetta , police and local intelligence officials said.
“Two gunmen riding a motorbike opened fire on a car in Quetta city, killing three Shia Muslims including two government officials and a local television artist,” senior local police official, Muhammad Tariq told AFP.
He said it seemed like a sectarian attack, but the police had launched an investigation into the incident. A local intelligence official also confirmed the incident. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack.
Hundreds of civilians have been killed since Baluch rebels rose up in 2004 against the federal Pakistani government, demanding political autonomy and a greater share of profits from the region’s oil, gas and mineral resources.

QUETTA: Unidentified gunmen killed three people, including a Federal Investigation Agency inspector and a television actor, near Quetta’s Mekangi Road on Wednesday.
Police said the victims were travelling in a car on Ibrahim Street on Mekangi Raod when the attackers, riding a motorcycle, opened fire at them, killing them on the spot. The assailants managed to escape from the scene.
Police rushed to the spot soon after the incident and cordoned off the area. The bodies were taken to Provincial Sandeman Hospital for an autopsy where they were identified as FIA Inspector Vilayat Hussain, actor Abid Nazish and Mohammad Anwar, an employee of the accountant-general of Balochistan’s office.
Hospital sources said the victims were shot in the upper torso, causing immediate death.
The motive behind the murders could not be known immediately. “Police are investigating the incident and it is premature to comment on possible reasons for the killing,” a senior police official said, on condition of anonymity.
Meanwhile, a man identified as Alam Khan was gunned down by unidentified people in Nawa Killi, a suburb of Quetta. The attackers escaped on a motorcycle while the body was moved to a state-run hospital for an autopsy. The motive behind the murder could be an old enmity, police sources said.

Seven months later, Immigration Minister Chris Bowen cancelled his visa after ASIO advised it regarded the Afghan national as a threat to security.
As is the practice, ASIO did not give any reason for its decision...Continue Reading....
