Police and Levies were deployed to the area whereas the dead and injured were being shifted to a hospital.
Quetta remains under constant fire with target killing incidents and bomb blasts taking lives everyday.
It has also become a hub of sectarian violence.
Earlier, three members of the Hazara community in Quetta were killed and four others injured, including a two-year-old passerby, when armed assailants opened fire on the yellow cab they were travelling in on Spiny Road in the Killi Mubarak area.

You the agencies are responsible for everything. For God sake change your course.

And Hamid Mir says that Baloch youth (a milder word for terrorists and insurgents) are innocent and oppressed and that’s the reason they take up weapons against Army and FC. Now someone please tell me how these innocent labourers oppressed and exploited the Baloch youth? Baloch insurgents are on a drive to ethnically cleanse Balochistan and this is the reason why they target settlers, Shias and even Pathans.

@ishtiaer hussain: Well kindly dont call Pukhtuns or a people of Punjab Settlers in Balochistan as Historically Sindhis, People of Punjab and Pukhtoons are a Part of Indus Valley Civilization and Pukhtoons are not Settlers in Balochistan but rather they are there for thousands of years and Baloch actually claim they are Arabs and they came then after the 9th century as they claim to be Arabs and before 9th century you were Indigenous people and Baloch came later and it is the usual Nature of Arabs to Invade the land, kill the locals and then own the name and that Arab nature is still prevalent in deserts of Balochistan by these Arab Settlers of 9th century are now Balochs…

What about the rights of Iranian and Afghan Baluchis? Are they less Baluch than Pakistani Baluch. And what about the rights of Baluch majority living in Punjab and Sindh (especially Karachi). Don’t they also need the same rights? Why are they all quiet and not killing other Iranians, Afghans, Punjabis, Pakhtuns, Hazarars, and Sindhis?

Muslims don’t kill Muslims; they only declare others non-Muslims before slaughtering them.
These days sound of Allah-O-Akbar only works as a warning signal before some act of terrorism.
Shame on the sorry state of the whole Muslim world and specially Pakistan. Our people only know dictatorship and should be dealt with iron fist.
