Two Punjabis shot dead in Quetta
Staff Report
QUETTA: Two men of Punjabi origin were shot dead in a targeted killing on Sariab Road in Quetta on Saturday afternoon, police said.
The Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) claimed responsibility for the killings.
Police said masked motorcyclists opened fire on the two Punjabi-speaking citizens at around 1pm. The two men, who had stopped at a petrol station to refuel their vehicle, were killed on the spot. They were identified as Muhammad Farooq and Shahzad Ahmed, both residents of Rahim Yar Khan district of Punjab. BLA spokesman Bibarg Baloch told Daily Times that the men were** killed in reaction to the “ongoing genocide of the Baloch people by the Pakistan Army”.

He said the BLA had formally asked all ‘Punjabi citizens’ to leave Balochistan or face the consequences.
“Those who followed our warnings have already left, but those who refuse to quit Balochistan will be targeted in the future,” he warned. The police said both men, aged between 35 to 40 years, were visiting Balochistan from Punjab and were killed when they were on their way back home.
However, the BLA spokesman claimed the two men were intelligence agents.
