Two Shia Muslims of a family shot martyred in Pakistan

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - At least two people Uncle and Nephew were shot martyred after the Pro-Taliban terrorists of Ahl-e-Sunnat-Wal-Jamaat (ASWJ) attacked on a shop in Liaquatabad F.C area of Karachi on August 05, 2014.

Ashraf Hussain, 50, and his nephew Hameed Hussain, 35, were present at their salon when unidentified attackers on a motorcycle arrived outside the shop and opened fire at them, Sharifabad police said.

Both the men were shot multiple times and died on the spot. The victims were Shia community members.

SSP Central Muqadas Haider said it was the second such attack on a barber shop in the same area.

Few days ago their another relative was also shot martyred in Karachi.

Pro-Taliban terrorists have killed thousands of innocent Shiite Muslims across the country, but government, judiciary and law enforcement agencies have failed to protect the citizens and have taken no step to stop ongoing genocide of Shiite Muslims in Pakistan.

The terrorist groups have launched a violent campaign against Shia Muslims and appear to have widened their terror campaign in major Pakistani cities.

According to local sources, militants affiliated to Taliban and al-Qaeda terrorist groups have killed thousands of Shia Muslims in the country.

The killing of Shias in Pakistan has caused international outrage, with rights groups and regional countries expressing concern over the ongoing deadly violence against the Shia community, which reportedly makes up about a third of Pakistan’s population of over 180 million.
