Gunmen have killed two Shi'ite Muslims in southwestern Pakistan.
Police said the killings on July 22 happened when gunmen opened fire on a taxi in Quetta, the capital of the restive Balochistan Province.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but a banned extremist Sunni organization, Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, usually claims responsibility for such attacks.
The group has staged numerous large-scale attacks against the Hazaras, a tiny Shi'te minority group.
Balochistan has experienced a spike in violence in recent years.
The province is also the scene of a decades-old insurgency by Baluch nationalists, who are demanding greater autonomy and a larger share of profits from the region's mineral resources.
