Two charred bodies have been found in a burnt car - that was likely caught up in a US drone attack targetting Taliban leadership - in Pakistan's troubled Balochistan province near the border area with Afghanistan, police said today.
The bodies which were shifted to the Civil hospital in Quetta were found late last night in the remote Noshki district in the province, where a rare US drone strike killed Afghan Taliban leader Mullah Akhtar Mansoor.
The deputy commissioner of Chaghi told reporters that the charred bodies were found late on Saturday night with the remains of the car.
"They have been identified as Azam (driver) and Muhammad Wali who are Pakistani residents," he said, adding: They were travelling in the vehicle on Quetta-Taftan highway near Noshki.
People in the area told the police that they heard gunfire and blasts before the bodies were found.
Area residents and officials suspect the car may have been caught up in the drone attack.
