Nine shot dead in volatile Pakistan province

A Pakistani police officer has said unknown gunmen have shot eight people dead and injured one in an insurgency-hit part of southwestern Pakistan.

Senior police officer, Bashir Brohi, told the AFP news agency on Sunday that the victims were labourers from eastern Punjab province who were abducted and shot while working in Balochistan province's poultry industry.

Gunmen stormed a poultry farm in the early hours of Sunday in the town of Hub, some 640 kilometres southwest of Balochistan province's capital city Quetta.

They kidnapped 11 labourers, senior local administration official Fawad Soomro said, and questioned them over their ethnicities.
