QUETTA, Sept 22: Three Hazara tribesmen were shot dead at two places here on Monday.

According to police, armed men on a motorcycle gunned down Yousuf Ali and Mohammad Alam who were going to their homes in the Hazara Town. The assailants escaped.

In another incident, masked men on a motorbike killed Zaman Ali in Munawar Colony. The deceased was running a dairy shop. Their bodies were taken to the Bolan Medical College Hospital and later handed over to relatives.

A senior police officer said that he believed these were sectarian and remnants of a banned religious organisation might be behind them.
