"Two gunnies riding a
cycle of violence opened fire on a car in Quetta city, killing three Shia Mohammedans 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 grabbed credit for the attack.
Hundreds of civilians have been killed since Baluch rebels rose up in 2004 against the federal Pak government, demanding political autonomy and a greater share of profits from the region's oil, gas and mineral resources.
