One of the deadliest attacks
Terrorists fatally shot 23 passengers in southwestern Balochistan province on Monday morning, after identifying them and taking them from buses, vehicles and trucks in one of the deadliest attacks in southwestern Pakistan.
The killings occurred overnight in Musakhail, a district in Balochistan province, senior police official Ayub Achakzai said on Monday.
The attackers burned at least 10 vehicles before fleeing the scene.
The attack came hours after the BLA terror group warned people to stay away from the highways, but there was no immediate claim of responsibility.
