Security beefed up at Balochistan churches, temples
2015-03-17
[DAWN] Balochistan
...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it...
government on Monday declared 35 out of the total 60 churches in the province as 'sensitive' in an attempt to avert any terrorist attack, similar to Sunday's twin bombings in Lahore.
Yeah, they "beefed up security" last time, too.
Sources in the Balochistan Home Department told DawnNews that most of these 'sensitive' churches are located in Quetta, the picturesque provincial capital. According to officials, security around the said churches has been tightened, with more coppers now deployed outside and around the churches to avoid any untoward incident.

The move comes just a day after jacket wallahs attacked two churches in Lahore's Youhanabad, killing at least 16 people and injuring dozens other. The bombings resulted in immediate protests in Lahore, where a mob brutally lynched two suspects after taking them away from police custody.

The unrest in Lahore and other cities of Punjab
1.) Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard
2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers
3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots....

continued on Monday, with Christian protesters clashing with baton-wielding coppers.
