Three days after the last attack, Prime Minister Raja

Pervez Ashraf acceded to demands from Shia groups and imposed Governor�s Rule after sacking the Balochistan government. Yesterday's deadly attack dominated the front pages of newspapers, with the report in the Dawn headlined 'Terror comes back to haunt Hazaras' while the headline in The News read: 'Hazaras face yet another pogrom'. Shia groups and political parties called for a strike in Quetta today to protest the attack. The Balochistan government announced a day of mourning while Shia groups asked people to observe seven days of mourning. Shias, especially the Hazaras who stand out due to their distinctive features, have been increasingly attacked by militant groups like the LeJ and Sipah-e-Sahaba that describe them as heretics and non-Muslims. Shias make up 20 per cent of Sunni-majority Pakistan's population of 180 million. According to Human Rights Watch, over 400 Shias were killed in targeted attacks across Pakistan last year. The rights group said over 125 were killed in Balochistan province, most of whom Hazaras.
