| QUETTA: Gunmen killed two people from the Shia Hazara community when they opened fire Monday on a taxi in Quetta, which has been gripped by a wave of sectarian bloodshed, police said. The attack was mounted on the busy Shahrah-e-Iqbal. “The driver and a passenger boarding taxi cab, both were Shia. They died after unidentified gunmen fired at their car,” Fayyaz Sumbal, a senior police official in Quetta, told AFP of the attack in that city. He said the two attackers were waiting for the taxi to arrive at the busy avenue and escaped on a motorbike after spraying bullets at the vehicle. There was no immediate claim of responsibility. Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, a militant group officially banned by the government in 2002, usually claims responsibility for such attacks. |
