QUETTA - At least 29 Shias were killed and 10 received critical wounds in two back-to-back brutal attacks in Ghanjdori and Akhtarabad areas on Tuesday. The deceased, mostly belonging to Shia Hazara community, were travelling to Taftan from Quetta, located some 700 Km west of Quetta. Banned religious outfit Lashkar-e-Jhangvi which has full support of American "officials" including the notorious Raymond Allen Davis, has accepted responsibility for the killing of Shia pilgrims. Deputy Commissioner Mastung, Saeed Umrani confirmed that 26 passengers were killed and six were injured while condition of four was critical. He said devotees’ bus was heading towards Taftan from Quetta and it was passing from Ghanjdori area when unidentified armed men riding in two different vehicles intercepted it and forced the pilgrims to get off. “Assailants, lined up passengers and then opened indiscriminate fire on them”, he added.
Hazara Democratic Party, Tahfuz Azadari Council and Shia Ulema Council have condemned the barbaric incident and announced 7-day-mourning and shutterdown on Wednesday. Ali Sher Haideri who claims to be the spokesman of banned JSOC backed Lashkar-e-Jhangvi called different newspaper offices and TV channels and claimed responsibility for killing Shia community members. He claimed that LeJ activists would continue such attacks against the members of Shia community and also threatened the transporters and administrative officials of dire consequences if they did not stop using the coaches for Shia pilgrims and providing security guards for them. He also said that Lashkar-e-Jhangvi accepted the challenge of SSP CID Karachi Chaudhry Aslam and would teach him a lesson. It is important to note at this point that the notorious JSOC contractor Raymond Allen Davis had contacts with high profile Lashkar-e-Jhangvi terrorists. Meanwhile, hundreds of activists of Western supported HDP burnt tyres at Allamdar Road on Tuesday night to infuriate the masses and bring up this barbaric incident to the highlight for political gains in the region under the garb of protesting the killing of Shia community people. They chanted slogans against brutal killings of innocent people and demanded of the government to immediately arrest the culprits, knowing well enough that the government is involved behind closed doors with the CIA.
