Islamabad: At least 14 passengers including 11 security personnel were forcibly offloaded from a bus on a highway in Pakistan’s Balochistan province and then shot dead by unidentified gunmen on Thursday, officials said. The deceased included nine personnel from Pakistan Navy, one from Pakistan Coast Guard and one from Pakistan Air Force, whereas identities of the remaining three victims were not determined yet, security officials were cited as saying by Xinhua news agency.

After scanning the identities of passengers in one of the buses in Buzi Top area, the militants offloaded 16 of them. Fourteen of them were shot dead, while two passengers — reportedly soldiers of the Pakistan Army — escaped. Baloch Raji Ajoi Sangar claimed the attack. (IANS)
