QUETTA: Armed men kidnapped about two dozen passengers from two Karachi-bound coaches and killed at least 19 of them in Khad Kocha, a mountainous area about 70km southeast of the provincial capital, in Mastung district, on Friday night.

“The armed men killed 19 of the passengers after taking them to the nearby mountains,” Balochistan Home Minister Mir Sarfaraz Ahmed Bugti told Dawn. He said the attackers were wearing uniform of security forces.

He said that after receiving information security forces rushed to the area and pursued the kidnappers. “Security forces found the bodies of 19 passengers in the mountains,” he said, adding that security personnel succeeded in freeing five passengers from the kidnappers.

“Exchange of fire between security forces and the armed men continues in the mountains of Mastung,” he said.

Mr Bugti said the bodies had been shifted to hospital and efforts were being made to ascertain their identity.

The driver of one of the coaches was injured in the firing and brought to Sandeman Civil Hospital in Quetta. He said the armed men signalled him to stop the bus and when he tried to speed away they opened indiscriminate fire.

The passengers, including labourers and traders, were coming from Pishin and Quetta and going to Karachi.
