PESHAWAR:
A bank manager was gunned down, in what police described as another incident of sectarian killing, in Peshawar.

Sardar Waqarul Hassan, manager of Habib Bank Limited-Abresham Garan branch, had left the branch to leave for home. As he headed towards the car park on Tuesday evening, unidentified attackers opened fire at him. The gun attack killed him on the spot.


The attackers managed to escape without retaliation.

“He was a resident of Gulbahar and belonged to the Shia sect. Without any doubt, it was an incident of target killing,” said a police official from the Kabuli Police Station.
