| [AlArabiya] Gunmen shot and killed three workers at a coal mine in southwestern Pakistain, officials said on Sunday. No one immediately grabbed credit for the attack. Suhail Anwar Hashmi, the top administrator in Harnai district in 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... province, said the early morning violence took place in the Sharag area where most of the province’s coal mines are located. Haranai is located about 124 miles (200 kilometers) northeast of Quetta, the bustling provincial capital of Balochistan. Hashmi said counterterrorism and local police teams were searching for the assailants. Baluch separatist groups have previously grabbed credit for similar attacks on coal miners in the region. In January, button men kidnapped a group of workers from a coal mine in the district of Bolan and shot them dead in a nearby mountainous area. Authorities found 11 bodies and three maimed at the site. The gas- and mineral-rich Balochistan province has been the scene of a low-level insurgency for some two decades. Initially, Lions of Islam demanded a greater share for the local population of the province’s gas and mineral income. But later, Baluch separatist groups started pressing for independence from Pakistain. They won’t get either, but it will keep the excess population of both sides too busy to create trouble elsewhere. |
