Municipal officer, five children gunned down in Balochistan
Five others, including three women, were injured in intense firing.
According to the official of Balochistan Levies Kamran Khan Raisani, TMO Mehraj Umerani and his family were on their way to Quetta from Dera Murad Jamali when assailants travelling in another car opened fire on them on the National Highway in Haji Sher, Dadhar.
“There were eleven people in the car when it came under the attack. TMO and five of his children died while five others, including three women were seriously wounded,” DC Kachhi Ahmed Ali Siddiqi told The Express Tribune.
All the six victims sustained serious bullet wounds and died on the spot.
While the attackers managed to flee from the scene, police suspect the killing could be motivated by personal/tribal enmity.
“The dead bodies and injured were taken to the Civil Hospital, Sibi,” added Siddiqi. “It is the case of a personal and tribal enmity. Baluchistan Levies personnel have mounted the search operation in the area."

These tribes live in the stone age and want to take the rest of the country to stone age as well. They use religion, tribal traditions whatever is convenient to them to control the poor masses so that they can keep on living the lives of luxury while drunk in power. Liaqat Ali Khan lost his life because he wanted to bring something similar to the land's reform act to Pakistan. We will not see an ounce of progress till the people leeching off of the system are thrown out for good.
