[Dhruv V Singh]

KOHAT: At least three people were killed and six were injured when unidentified assailants ambushed a passenger vehicle near Charkhel village in lower Kurram Agency on Monday, a political administration official said.
Confirming that it was a sectarian attack, the official said that the vehicle was en route to Peshawar from Parachinar – the headquarters of Kurram Agency – when unknown men opened fire on it from a mountain.
He added that all the passengers belonged to the Shia community. “The locals are afraid of sectarian violence again.”The injured and the deceased were shifted to Combined Military Hospital (CMH), Thall.

He added that that this was the sixth attack on a passenger vehicle in the area after the route was reopened by Commissioner Kohat division Sahibzada Muhammad Anees about six months ago.

RIP to the dead, but sensationalist news to say the least. 3 killed and 6 injured is hardly a massacre. I would say at least 50 have to be killed to term an incident as a massacre.

Zia must have organized a huge party in his grave to celebrate the killing of these Shias of Parachinar. Sectarian killings and violence were unknown in Parachinar until one day Zia allowed the Afghans to unleash terror of worst kind on those poor Turis who were until then the most educated and peaceful among all tribes of FATA, their only crime was that they were Shias.

Intelligence Bureau report: ‘SSP, LeJ expand reach, grow robust’

ISLAMABAD: Sectarian groups in Pakistan have grown ‘stronger than ever’ and pose a grave threat to state and society, according to an assessment carried out by the country’s intelligence services.

A report of the Intelligence Bureau (IB) has warned that organisations such as Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan (SSP), Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ) and Jundallah are more powerful than in the ‘80s and ‘90s when they wreaked havoc across the country through sectarian attacks.

Isn't Jundallah an Iranian org.? Why would Jundallah kill Shias?

RIP to the dead, if 3 people is a massacre then I would like to see how many people it takes to term it a holocaust, after losing something like 40,000+ people in this war, going by the OP's description, we should be an extinct species.

Isn't Jundallah an Iranian org.? Why would Jundallah kill Shias?

They are Sunni supremacists.

How can authorities protect every random 6 people going somewhere in a car?

No mate they are criminals

Touché. Point taken.

 

[ice_man]

so if an Ahmedi,shia,minoirty sect dies it is termed a massacre??? while a bomb blast in kisa khani bazaar or killings in karachi are not considered religious! weird way of looking at things
