Gunmen have shot dead seven people in separate incidents in Pakistan's restive southwest, police said yesterday.
At least three Shia Muslims were killed on Saturday when two men riding a motorbike opened fire on the outskirts of Quetta, the capital of oil and gas rich Baluchistan, which borders Iran and Afghanistan.
"All three men died on the spot," senior police official Tariq Manzoor told AFP.
In another incident, three people including a student and two employees of Mastung cadet college were killed in a drive-by shooting on Friday.
They were returning to Quetta from Mastung town, 55km south of the provincial capital, when gunmen riding a motorbike opened fire on their vehicle.
"Two employees of the college died on the spot while the student succumbed to injuries on the way to hospital," local police official Mohammad Alam said.
