ISLAMABAD/AMRITSAR: Motorbike-borne assailants shot and killed two traders from Peshawar's minuscule Sikh community at a marketplace in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on Sunday, sending fear and outrage coursing through religious minorities across Pakistan over yet another seemingly selective attack.
The slain duo - Kuljit Singh, 36, and Ranjit Singh, 41 - were cousins, said National Commission for Minorities member Saroop Singh. They were in their shops at Bara market of Sarband town, a 30-minute drive from Peshawar, when the assailants opened fire and sped away. Police spokesperson Ijaz Khan told reporters that both died before they could be moved to a hospital.
