| [Pak Daily Times] Four Punjabis returning from Iran were ambushed and killed and two others were critically injured by unidentified gunnies at a local bus terminal in the border township of Mand on Saturday. The victims had returned to Pakistain from Iran and were to board a Bloody Karachi-bound passenger bus at the Bullo terminal, when gunnies approached them and asked them to establish their identity. The victims claimed to be Iranians knowing the risk of identifying them as Punjabi expatriates passing through remote township of Mand in central Makran. When asked to produce their identity papers, it was found that they were residents of Lahore and Faisalabad. According to eye-witnesses, all the victims hooded their faces attracting the attention of every one passing through the bus terminal. Presumably, there was a mistaken identity considering them as personnel from the Frontier Corps, they claimed. According to another report, the victims were sitting at the bus terminal and were about to leave for Bloody Karachi when person or persons unknown opened fire on them killing three of them on the spot while injuring three others. The dear departed have been identified as Nadeem Faiz, Naeem Sada Hussain, Hassan Zulfiqar and Sikandar Qasim while injured as Khalil Bashir and Mohammad Waseem Sada Hussain. Official sources confirmed that it was a case of assassination. Levies personnel cordoned off the whole area soon after the incident and launched a manhunt for the killers. No one claimed the responsibility for the multiple murders. |
