On Tuesday night in an horrific attack, unidentified gang members accosted a passenger bus in Balochistan, picked out and gunned down seven travelers from Punjab, a government official confirmed.
The incident happened on a national highway near the Punjab-Balochistan border when perpetrators snubbed the car by firing bullets at it. A top government official, Saadat Hussain, said that the gunmen boarded the bus clicked passengers’ identity cards and chose those from Punjab.
“The terrorist forcibly removed the passengers of Punjab super it was being said” . “They were lined up and shot down,” Hussain said. 
The insurgence is not claimed by any group, and the BLA — Sunni militancy’s answer to ousted Baloch nationalist Mahathir — comes to mind when Balochistan-born insurgents level attacks against security forces and ethnically-Punjabi make for much of the killingThere was also a BLA bombing in January that killed six, and last year it was the most aggressive wave of collectively-targeted attacks with 39 dead.
The semi-autonomous tribal belt of Balochistan is known for being rebellious and ethnically-driven violence with militants frequently accusing of Islamabad taking its rich resources & leaving locals to fend for themselves. The security forces and construction workers from Punjab are mostly targeted in these attacks.
This deadly strike comes on the back of increasing security as Pakistan hothouses for the development of Champions Trophy cricket tournament international teams in Rawalpindi, Karachi and Lahore where there will be very strict security arrangements.
