QUETTA: An unidentified gunman shot dead four people belonging to the Shia community on Masjid Road in Quetta on Thursday evening.

He said the other two people died of their injuries on the way to hospital.

No one had claimed responsibility for the attack, Shakeel added. A second police official, Shaukat Ali, confirmed the incident.

elijah | 14 years ago | Reply Dear Abrar, What u say is very right, but keep in mind that the day satan disobeyed Allah to hail to Adam a.s. he promised to misguide people from the path of Allah. And 2day we r facing the same kinda people. They killed Imam Hussain a.s. and u think they r gonna spare us... No. But we r lovers of Ahl-ul-Bayt and also we are Mongols, we will strike back Inshallah, with the believe on Maula a.s.
