At least 11 coal miners were killed in the Mach area of Balochistan on Sunday after armed militants kidnapped them and took them to a nearby area before opening fire at close range.

Police authorities said the miners were on the way to work when armed militants kidnapped them and took them to the nearby mountains. Moazzam Ali Jatoi, an official with the Levies Force, said six of the miners were dead on the spot, and five who were critically wounded died on the way to a hospital.

Jatoi said an initial investigation revealed the attackers identified the miners as being from the Shia Hazara community and the gunmen took them away for execution, leaving others unharmed.

No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack.


According to Quetta Deputy Commissioner Murad Kaas, no case has been registered so far.

A heavy contingent of police, Frontier Corps, and district administration officials reached the site after the incident.

Prime Minister Imran Khan condemned the miners' killing, terming it "yet another cowardly inhumane act of terrorism".

"Have asked the FC to use all resources to apprehend these killers & bring them to justice. The families of the victims will not be left abandoned by the govt," he said in a tweet.




Balochistan Chief Minister Jam Kamal Khan Alyani too "strongly condemned the tragic incident".

PPP chairperson Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari termed the incident as "the worst form of terrorism".




In a statement, Bilawal called on the government to take action and provide protection to miners working in the coalfields.

The PPP chairperson also asked the federal and provincial governments to provide "compensation to the families of the miners and ensure that such incidents do not occur again".

Balochistan government spokesperson Liaquat Shahwani said that security forces had surrounded the area and started the investigation. "[We] will bring the terrorists to justice," he vowed.




Restive province
There has been an uptick in violence in restive Balochistan, with several incidents of terrorism being reported last year.

On October 16, seven soldiers of Frontier Corps (FC) Balochistan and seven security guards were martyred in an 'encounter' with a "large number of terrorists" while escorting a convoy of state-run Oil & Gas Development Company Ltd (OGDCL) on the Makran Coastal Highway in Ormara.

The convoy was on its way to Karachi from Gwadar when it came under attack.

In April 2019, at least 14 people, including 11 personnel of Navy, Air Force and Coast Guards, were killed by gunmen after they were picked out with the help of their computerised national identity cards (CNICs) and offloaded from seven buses in the Buzi Pass area near Ormara.

The incident had taken place on the Makran Coastal Highway linking Karachi with the port city of Gwadar. The buses were going to Gwadar from Karachi.

An alliance of three banned militant organisations — the Balochistan Liberation Front, Balochistan Republican Army and Baloch Republican Guard — had claimed responsibility for the killings.

The Afghan border fence needs to be completed, so NDS & Indian trained & funded terrorists cannot cross over

Hahah you joker.

You are laughing at this tragedy, but why?
Did these people refuse to accept the concept of vilayat?

The mines belong to CM Balochistan i believe

 

[Irfan Baloch]

They are killed in an area that is a stronghold of ethnic separatists supported by Iranian intelligence agencies

their ethnic identity is a big give away
whether away or close to Iran or Afghan border doesnt matter.

my unit havaldar was taken off the bus near kashmore and shot dead due to being a punjabi or having a name Muntazir Hussain.

take your pick why he was killed but we lost a very bright and loved soldier and his family lost a husband and father.
fencing borders wont help
cursing Iran or saudis also wont help either

the demented minds on social media need mending and fencing.

Pakistan Armed Forces either wake up and hit back. Or we would loose Baluchistan. How many we plan to loose more for GOD sake.

Forces will not wake up until their own family or a mil base or some VIP is targeted. Unfortunately the lives of coal miners are too cheap to afford the expenses of a military operation.

Lets be honest we are in mess today because of right wingers. They are always available on rent to fight foreign wars and put our national security at risk.

Lol an average person does not care about right of left crap. Only those people who have free money available from foreign agencies or the rich dad's spoilt aulaad have the time to make these noises because they don't have to earn and provide for their family.

Saudi funded Lashkar-e-Jhangvi is part of good Wahhabi terrorists and therefore no action will be taken against them period full stop.

the pig is devouring too much dung.

Condolences to the death of Pakistani Citizens security can only be established after small barracks are set up across Baluchistan

Indian financed Terrorist are targeting soft targets in order to spread discomfort in Balochistan

 

[Irfan Baloch]

@Areesh have some shame and some respect for the dead
pull the rod out of your backside and leave it to shove down the Iranian ayatullah some other time.


I am sorry I cant put it in any more milder way. but I promise I wont hold anything against you. you are a trueblood Pakistani and our asset. just dont be an arse.

your and my sentiments mean nothing compared to what the families of these poor Pakistani Hazaras are going through.
your energy must be spent on questioning the abilities or failure of our state to safeguard our religious scholars and ordinary citizens.

Three incidents in a row, it is showing our in-capability in front of Modern Terrorism tactics. We need to revisit our security policies and address loopholes in our local intel network; here Army operation is not answer as we handle SWAT operation. This all terrorism is to create unrest among the Hazara community and bring them on the road.

 

[Irfan Baloch]

A seperatist doesn't appear from no where and you have no right to Take action against someone before proving his guilt. Most importantly our Baluch people are by 90 percent from Sunnis. That makes it even more complicated and harder to make Crack down since it sparks religious hatred. Criminals have used this religious excuse as a cover for their crimes in Baluchistan. Although Bluch people are One of the most patriot people of Iran despite being ultra-Sunnis but their sensitivity must be considered. The Central government has to give them extra freedom which sometimes ends up in favor of criminals. That's why i call it complicated.

Yes you takfiri bigot justified that beheading of innocent Workers by making Iran your excuse.

this argument must stop.
some some respect to the dead. just dont feed and fall into an endless argument of Saudi vs Iran. it has hurt us a lot.

on my group with my Quetta I have seen the horrific pictures of the dead,. the way they have been executed and also the news about their families.

We are angry and embarrassed as well and looking for excuses to pass the blame for tragedy., I urge you to not to engage any further.

We need to revisit our security policies and address loopholes in our local intel network; the Army is not answering this issue like SWAT operation. This all terrorism is to create unrest among the Hazara community and bring them on the road.

actionable intelligence gets lost in the noise.

the community is a soft target of high value in Pakistan.

people are bound to be on the roads one way or another but the weakest should be protected first and foremost in any state of war.

 

[Amaa'n]

Everyone is missing the point here. This is exactly why this attack was carried out & those innocents were executed.
Attack was to create ethnic & sectarian rift at all levels of the state to lay down the ground work for sectarian killings....lets not jump the gun and calm down.....
