Eight killed in suspected sectarian shooting in Kurram

[Ahmad]

PESHAWAR: Eight people were killed and five wounded Friday when gunmen opened fire on two vehicles carrying Shia Muslims in Pakistan’s Kurram tribal region in suspected sectarian violence, officials said.

The vehicles were ambushed in the Bagan town of Kurram district, near the Afghan border, and the victims “were all Shia Muslims”, a security official said.

The area has a history of sectarian clashes between Pakistan’s majority Sunni Muslims and minority Shias.

Local administration official Fazal Hussain told AFP the Shias in a three-vehicle caravan were heading from the northwestern city of Parachinar to Peshawar, the capital of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province.

“The attackers came in two vehicles. They opened fire and fled, leaving eight people dead, including a woman and a child,” he said.

R.I.P to the victims

The Kurram Agency and specially Hangu is the Pakistani version of Gaza

the Shias there constantly hunted and murdered and the valid targets include women and children as well

Imran Khan and jamaat Islami always say that the terrorism started in Pakistan because of our part in American War on Terror and American presence
but ask these people, they are being murdered for decades even before this word "war on terror" was coined.

the lure of bedding with 72 virgins is so tempting that the glorious Sipah Sahabah and Lashker Jhagvi wont even spare children and women
for a change of taste they have started killing the main stream Sunnis specially the Beralvis just to give the feeling to rest of us how these people of Hangu have been suffering for decades. the Parachinar/ hangu are constantly surrounded and under siege by the fanatic tribes hell bent on eliminating the Shias who they consider as kafirs.

Imran Khan and Jammat Islami wont mind if these terrorist only continue to kill these people once Pakistan army stops operation against them.

The shias travel in conveys sometimes “escorted” by police and Army but that doesn’t stop Jihadis of Islam from killing 5 to 15 of them and sending them to hell and adding more virgins in their bank once they will be eventually “martyred” by Pakistan Army.

What is the reason for killing Sunnis? There should be some logical thinking.

They are apostates in their view, worse than even kaffirs.

Killing them gives sabaab and a ticket to heaven and the goodies mentioned.

there is logic and there is no thinking when it comes to killing. they are just b@stards who love to kill in the name of religion and other differences.

Wahhabis anyone?

This is a horrible incident. The people of FATA have a long history of being tough and in-penetrable, so why are they letting these corrupt scumbags take over their society and lands??? People of FATA should unite tribes and defeat Taliban and Al Qaeda.

well my dear any one is a fair game.
these people have used secterian cards in the past
they are simply anti every body if that person is not the same belief like them
their kind has fought wars with Muslims in the past too and are responsible for killing a lot of Prophet's companians too.

so whether you are a Muslim or Hindu or Christian it doesnt matter to them.. if you are not one of them then you deserve to die and thats the end of it.
hence they want to kill sunnis too.. although they themselves claim to be sunnis but they are anything but sunni

Examine (do the research, all open source) what were the basis of resolution 1973 against Libya -- Can something similar "protect" Shi'ah Pakistanis, which the state of Pakistan is unwilling to protect?

You'll continue to see more of this till you decide that it is you who are Muslim and the murderers, not.

If you keep saying that you are Muslim and the murderers are also Muslims, you will lose and will deserve to.
