Gunmen in southwestern Pakistan killed four members of a Shia Muslim Hazara family, in the latest apparent sectarian attack on the minority community.
 Two men on a motorcycle opened fire on a family of eight while they were at a filling station some 30km north of Quetta, the capital of Pakistan'sBalochistan province, late on Sunday.
"This was a sectarian attack," senior police officer Tanveer Shah told the Reuters news agency, adding that no group had claimed responsibility for the shooting.
Hazaras are frequently targeted by the Taliban, Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, also known as ISIS), and other Sunni Muslim armed groups in both Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Many Hazaras fled to Pakistan during decades of conflict in neighbouring Afghanistan, and nearly half a million now live in and around Quetta.
