Gunmen kill UN employee, attacks in southwest Pakistan

Quetta: Police say gunmen have killed six people in a pair of attacks in southwest Pakistan, one of which targeted local UN employees.

Police officer Rustam Khan says gunmen attacked a car carrying local staff of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation in Baluchistan province's Mastung district on Thursday, killing two people.

A UN official said the two killed were a driver and a member of the group's project staff. Another member was wounded.

The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to talk to the media.

Police officer Shaukat Khan says gunmen on motorcycles opened fire on a passenger van in Quetta, the capital of Baluchistan province, killing four Shi’ite Muslims in an apparent sectarian attack.
