Two bodies, including that of an imambargah leader, were recovered
in Mian Gundi area, an
outskirt of Quetta, the
provincial capital of
Balochistan, on July 11,
according to Daily
Times. The bodies
were identified as those
of Satellite Town imambargah
leader Mulana Nour Ali
Nour and Syed Haseeb Abad
Zaidi, a resident of Sirki
Road Quetta. A slip was
found from one of the
body in which Lashker-e-Jhangvi
(LeJ)
claimed the responsibility
of the killings. “They
were slaughtered and beheaded
in a brutal manner,” hospital
sources said adding that
their ages were around
28 to 30. The relatives
of Haseeb told the media
that he had been abducted
from Satellite Town some
19 days earlier. They
said the abductors had
initially demanded a ransom
amount of PKR 1.9 million,
which they increased by
another million upon receiving
the PKR 1.5 million. |
