Sibi attack investigation: ‘Transporters’ rivalry could be the cause’

QUETTA: The Sibi bus attack, which killed as many as 16 people, could have been the result of a rivalry between transporters, said Sibi DPO Fareed Ali Shah. Talking to reporters on Wednesday, Shah said police has so far rounded up six suspects who are being questioned. “A team has been formed under police officer Raja Basharat which is conducting raids and investigating the matter,” he said. Initial investigations suggest that the incident was the outcome of a business rivalry between transporters, he said.
