| MULTAN: Nine members of a family including four children and two women were killed in Kadia Shah village, Bahawalpur district, on Friday night. The attackers used machetes and guns to kill the 45-year-old farmer, his wife, sons, daughter-in-law and four grandchildren, who were between the ages of four and ten years. Police officials say the carnage may have been caused by an old enmity over a land dispute, AP reported. The victims were identified as Haji Ibrahim, Faizan Mai, Muhammad Farooq, Abdur Rehman, Muhammad Yousaf, Ruqayya Bibi, Zainab, Khamsa, and Hafsa. Senior police officials of the area are investigating the case but no arrests have yet been made, APP reported. |

| #2 It's ok -- we all know Muslims don't kill Muslims. And this was a Haji, so clearly it did not occur. |
