Shia cleric shot dead
Staff Report
QUETTA: Gunmen on a motorcycle shot dead a minority Shiite Muslim cleric Friday in a remote town, police said, in the latest suspected sectarian killing to hit the country.
Two armed men ambushed religious leader Allamma Badar-ud-Din as he left his home to go to a mosque in Dera Murad Jamali, some 240 kilometres south of Quetta, police said. "The attackers were riding a motorcycle and fled after the shooting," local police officer Khalid Magsi said.
