Two gunmen riding on a motorcycle opened fire on a parked police vehicle in the southwestern Pakistani city of Quetta today, killing one policeman and wounding two others.

The gunmen with their faces covered opened fire on the police van on the Arbab Karam Khan road in Quetta.

One policeman was killed on the spot in the firing incident while two others were injured and rushed to a hospital, a senior police officer said.

Quetta is the provincial capital of Balochistan where separatist groups for years have been demanding a greater share of provincial resources.
