At least five women belonging to a Shia Hazara community were martyred in a targeted attack by the terrorists of proscribed ASWJ/Lashkar-e-Jhangvi in Quetta on Tuesday.

Some others also sustained serious bullet injuries when Wahhabis-allied takfiri gunmen fired gunshots on a local passenger bus.
“The women were returning homes in Hazara Town boarding a bus when armed men intercepted their bus and one of them barged inside and started shooting at them,” Capital City Police Officer (CCPO) Abdul Razaq Cheema said adding that the gory incident occurred on Keerani Road.
Following the Muharram procession, security measures were already tightened in the capital city of Balochistan and the authorities had already imposed section 144 and banned pillion riding but takfiri terrorists of Deobandi outfit ASWJ/Lashkar-e-Jhangvi freely perpetrated terrorist attack on innocent women.
Bodies of the martyred women and injured were taken to Bolan Medical Complex from where martyrs bodies were shifted to Baqri Imam Bargah.
