| Salafists and Deobandis don't have shrines. Brelvis do. Keep that in mind next time you're blaming all Muslims for the actions of the 15 percent. [Pak Daily Times] Taliban stormed a shrine in Beautiful Downtown Peshawar and killed three of its custodians, police said on Tuesday. Police said five beturbanned goons attacked the shrine of Ghazi Baba at Badabher on the outskirts of Peshawar and opened fire on four custodians. Three of them keeled over dead while the fourth sustained injuries. Police said a search operation had been launched to apprehend the attackers and added that the motive behind the incident was unclear. Local residents said the custodians of the shrine had received threats from faceless myrmidons. In a separate incident, three people, including a woman, were maimed when a police vehicle was targeted with a remote-controlled improvised bomb in Nagman area of Peshawar in the morning, police said. The bomb was planted near a gas pipeline and went off as the van passed by it.Taliban stormed a shrine in Peshawar and killed three of its custodians, police said on Tuesday.
