QUETTA: Armed gunmen on Thursday killed two activists of the Balochistan National Party - Mengal in Khuzdar town of the southwestern province.
Police said armed gunmen on a motorcycle opened fire at the vehicle of Ali Akbar Mosiani, a district leader of BNP-M, in Khuzdar bazaar.
Mosiani was killed on the spot, police said, adding that the gunmen managed to escape from the spot. Moreover, only half an hour after Mosiani's killing, armed gunmen shot dead another BNP-M activist, Javed Baloch.
Baloch suffered serious wounds as result of firing and succumbed to his injuries on way to hospital. Condemning the killings of party workers, BNP-M central leader Rauf Mengal announced a three-day-mourning across Balochistan.
