MANDI BAHAUDDIN, March 20: Unknown assailants killed four people near Kakowaal bridge, some 11km from here, on Tuesday morning.

Reports said Sheikh Faiz Ahmed, a contractor of Kuthiala Sheikhan, was on his way to Saray Alamgir by his car along with his driver, body guard and a friend.

As the car reached the bridge, the assailants also riding a car opened fire on the vehicle, killing Saifullah, Jehangir and Faiz on the spot. Zulfiqar was shifted to DHQ hospital in a critical condition where he died.
