Tragedy Strikes: Massacre of Innocent Passengers in Balochistan
In a tragic turn of events, nine passengers traveling through Balochistan’s Loralai district were abducted and brutally killed. The incident occurred late Thursday night when gunmen, allegedly linked to the group Fitna al-Hindustan, targeted passengers on Punjab-bound buses. The victims included individuals from Lodhran, Dera Ghazi Khan, and other regions, highlighting the indiscriminate nature of this horrific act.
The pain deepened with the loss of two brothers, Usman and Jabir, who were en route to their father’s funeral. Their brother shared the heartbreaking news on social media, underscoring the tragedy of innocent lives caught in an ongoing cycle of violence. The attackers reportedly checked passengers’ IDs, deliberately targeting those with Punjab addresses.
This grim episode has elicited strong condemnation from various quarters. President Asif Ali Zardari labeled it a "barbaric act," while Prime Minister Shehbaz vowed to hold the perpetrators accountable. Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi described the attack as "cowardly barbarism" and stressed the need to eradicate such threats from society.
In response to this heinous attack, the Balochistan government has reiterated its commitment to maintaining peace and security, promising to pursue those responsible relentlessly. This incident also raises questions about the broader security situation in the region and the factors contributing to such violent extremism.
