ohh it looks like a sectarian killing. in this area of parachinar, there has always been shia sunni problems. i used to go through this route to afghanistan and pakistan, but during muharam time i definately avoided it. the khushis people are mostly shia Tajiks unlike the mainstream tajiks who are sunnis, alot of them live in parachinar area and surrounding.

yep, most likely done by afghan talibans - Parachinar is locality of brave people who are shias and taliban have tried a lot of time to eliminate them.

although you cant rule out the Afghani taliban in this situation, but shia sunni problem have always been hot in this part of parkistan(parachinar) among different pakistani tribes who belong to different sects.
