On August 16, gunmen wearing military uniforms dragged 20 Shia Muslim travellers off a bus in the hills of Babusar Top in Mansehra district and shot them dead.
It was the third such incident in six months.
On April 3, a mob dragged nine Shia Muslims out of buses and shot them dead in Chilas. On February 28, 18 Shia Muslim men were ordered off buses travelling from Rawalpindi to Gilgit in the district of Kohistan, and shot dead in cold blood.
In all three instances, the assassins took their time to segregate Shia Muslims from rest of the travellers by looking at their identity cards.
The government claims every time that it will arrest and prosecute the culprits, but the killings continue.
Soon after the August 16 incident, Gilgit-Baltistan Chief Minister Syed Mehdi Shah called an emergency meeting of top local officials and told them to arrest the killers.
Intelligence sources say militants loyal to Mullah Fazlullah were involved in the killings in the Gilgit-Baltistan region. After escaping a military operation in Swat in 2009 that ended his reign of terror in the valley, Fazlullah had found a safe haven in Afghanistan. He is now operating from across the border. The recent killings also involve groups referred to as 'Punjabi Taliban', many of which are sectarian outfits.
