![]() Ibrahim Shahid adds from Gilgit: Law enforcement agencies have detained as many as 43 activists of various religious parties for alleged involvement in sectarian violence in Gilgit over the past week. Official sources said the suspects had been arrested during several raids. They said that a wave of violence started last Sunday after a passenger bus was ambushed near Chilas. Five passengers were killed and six were injured in the ambush. Six more were killed in revenge attacks, which left Gilgit paralysed for six days. |
