Gunmen shot and killed six construction workers overnight in the volatile southwestern Balochistan Province, Pakistani police said on October 14. Police officer Hidayatullah Dashti said gunmen opened fire overnight at eight construction workers in the city of Turbat, about 606 kilometers south of Quetta -- the capital of the province. Two survived, he said, and were hospitalized for treatment. Dashti said the workers were part of a private construction project in the city. No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack.
