'Wrong Kind of Muslim™' Alert: Shi-ites mourn 26 of their colleagues, gunned down by Sunni Muslims last month in Mastung in the Balochistan region of Pakistan

Gunmen [Those 'Gunmen' again - Ed] attacked a bus carrying Shiite Muslims in Pakistan’s insurgency-torn southwest on Tuesday, killing 13 people in the second major sectarian attack to hit the area in two weeks, police said.

Pakistan has faced mounting criticism from its minority Pakistani Shiite community and human rights groups for failing to prevent thousands of sectarian murders, which further destabilise the fragile US ally in the war on Al-Qaeda.

Tuesday’s drive-by shooting happened on the outskirts of Quetta, the capital of oil and gas-rich Baluchistan, which borders Iran and Afghanistan.

“Four gunmen riding two motorcycles opened fire on a bus in the outskirts of Quetta,” local police official Hamid Shakeel told AFP. “The death toll has risen to 13. Two of the injured who were in critical condition died in hospital. Now 12 Shiite Muslims and one Pashtun have been killed in the attack,” he said after initially putting the death toll at 10.

The Shiites were members of the minority Hazara ethnic group and had been travelling from the Hazara-dominated town of Hazarganji to Quetta.

Television footage showed the bus engulfed in flames, with blood and passengers’ luggage seen scattered at the site sealed off by a paramilitary and police cordon.

Police said they had been escorting other Shiites in the area, but insisted they had not been informed of the other bus.

Up to 400 furious Hazaras demonstrated outside the Bolan Medical Complex where the wounded were taken for treatment, condemning the government for inaction over sectarian groups, said police official Wahid Bakhsh.

It was the deadliest attack on Shiites in Pakistan since September 4, 2010 when a suicide bomber killed at least 57 people at a rally in Quetta.

If it isn’t the Shi-ites, it’s the Ahmadiyya, if it isn’t the Ahmadiyya it’s the Sufis – as Pakistani Muslims in Islam’s worst failed state prove once again: even when all the infidels have either been killed, fled the country, or are in hiding in fear of their lives- fellow Muslims have never been found wanting as victims by the world’s most ultraviolent religion.

AFP has the rest.
