“The victims belonged to Punjab and were waiting for bus after returning from Iran via Mand Bulo border when they were targeted,” sources said, adding that dead bodies were sent to Faisalabad for burial.
Sources said three companions of the victims escaped unhurt in the attack. “It is an incident of target killing and the assailants managed to escape on motorbikes,” an official said.
“The victims were labourers and illegally went to Iran. They were returning to their hometowns when they were attacked.”

It is a natural result of how Iran and Pakistan killing the Baloch nation.
please stop this all!!!!
It is now crystal Clear to world community that Baloch Liberation Front (BLF) is terrorist organization.
Is it racist or sectarian?? I heard they all were shias.!
Our blood is ice cold and we are very immune to everyday killing. We protest against the West and Jeweish lobby but don't care what is happening in our own country. We deserve the beating and bashing by the rest of the world as long as we don't respect and protect our own people. Shame, shame, shame.
@smj:
These are not invisible killers.the leaders of these terrorist groups get prime time coverage on our news channels by the news anchors who tell these leaders how innocent and masoom they are.no blogger,columnist,reporter or news anchor has the ethical decency to discuss the murder of punjabi civilians in balochistan. the people who abuse pakistan are invited to prime time talkshows and treated sympathetically by the anchors,no anchor dares ask these leaders of terrorist groups living in luxury in europe about the deliberate ethnic cleansing they are doing of punjabi civlians in balochistan.
this was a case of ethnic terrorism.the people killed were innocent labourers from sahiwal,punjab.hundreds of punjabis have been deliberately murdered in balochistan but no one in the media cares,no anchor does any talkshow on the ethnic cleansing of punjabis in balochistan.the leaders of the terrorist groups operating in balochistan are presented as heroes by our tv channels.why doesn't any anchor do a show on this now?
They were Punjabis, killed by Baloch seperatists. Its sad that poor labourers are being killed on ethnic grounds
Why doesn't gov capture and convict terrorists? Why not pass strong anti-terror legislation? You can keep bashing mullahs but this government is not taking any steps at all to tackle terrorism.
BLF has targetted innocent pushtun labourers this time.. FC must hunt down those responsible.
this desire for proving my religious beliefs are superior to your beliefs has led this country nowhere.Too many people for far too long have been killed because of religion.It's time people stopped killing in the name of god.
When will the sectarian war end.for how many centuries we have been killing people from the opposing sect.innocent people from both sides have been murdered.this obsession with proving whose sect's beliefs are better has led to thousands of deaths on both sides. sometimes, a lawyer or a doctor from one sect is killed,the next day a doctor or lawyer from the other sect is killed. religion should be a private affair but in our society religion and its rituals and practices are deliberately flaunted in public.this obsession with religion must end for us to have a peaceful society.
