7 killed in bus attack Sindhu Desh Liberation Army claims responsibility
Nawabshah—At least seven persons were killed and more than 25 others injured when unknown gunmen on motorcycles and cars attacked a passenger bus here at the National Highway on Friday.
According to police, about 15 culprits riding motorcycles and cars ambushed a Kohat bound passenger bus coming from Karachi in Ren Shakh area of tehsil Qazi Ahmed of Nawabshah.
The driver of the bus lost control of the vehicle after the firing and it fell in empty place by roadside. The gunmen sprayed bullets on the bus from two sides and fled the scene after the incident.
As a result of firing seven persons including driver, were killed on the spot while about 25 others sustained injuries. The dead were identified as Abdul Majeed, his son Arsalan Majeed, Shehzad Hussain, Qabil Khan, Samiullah, Gul Reb and Mukhbir Khan.
The Sindu Desh Liberation Army has claimed responsibility for the killings. Pamphlets of the outfit were found at the scene of the killings in which it claimed responsibility for the killings.
The injured were shifted to Qazi Ahmed hospital from where they were referred to Nawabshah Hospital, 20km away of the crime scene, due to serious wounds. Six among the injured were stated to in critical condition.
Heavy contingent of police reached the scene after the incident and cordoned off the area but the attackers managed to escape. It merits mentioning here that two persons boarded in the bus at Sakrand and said their other companions will also join them in Ren Shakh area. But when the bus stopped there, the miscreants on motorcycles opened fire on the bus. The Sindu Desh Liberation Army is known for its sabotage acts in Nawabshah, the native town of President Asif Ali Zardari.
President Asif Ali Zardari has taken notice of the incident of firing on a coach in Qazi Ahmed, Shaheed Benazirabad (formerly Nawab Shah) that has resulted in loss of seven lives and injuring other five people.
While condemning this brutal act of firing on a passenger bus, the President has called for a report into this unfortunate incident and has directed to bring culprits to justice.
He expressed his grief and sympathies with the bereaved families and prayed for the departed souls.— INP

Sindhudesh (Sindhi: سنڌو ديش, literally Sindhi word meaning 'Sindhi Country') is a concept floated by Sindhi nationalists in Pakistan, for the creation of a Sindhi state, which would be independent from Pakistan. It was conceived by senior Sindhi political leader G. M. Syed. A Sindhi literary movement emerged in 1967 under the leadership of Syed and Pir Ali Mohammed Rashdi, in opposition to the One Unit policy, the imposition of Urdu by the central government and to the presence of a large number of Muhajir (Indian Muslim refugees) settled in the province.
To this day, not a single party provoking Sindhi nationalism has been voted into power in Sindh at any level of government.
