DERA MURAD JAM­ALI: Two people were killed and seven others injured in an armed attack by unidentified attackers on a tractor-trolley in the Kot Magsi area of Jhal Magsi district on Sunday.

Levies officials said the incident occur­red when armed men riding motorcycles opened fire with automatic weapons on a tractor-trolley carrying residents of Jhal Mangi.

They rushed to the site after receiving information about the attack and shif­ted the bodies and injured to the district hospital. The condition of three of the injured was stated to be seri­ous, and they are expected to be shifted to Quetta for further treatment.

Later, the bodies were han­ded over to the families after medico-legal formalities. The attackers fled the scene after the assault. Levies officials said the motive appears to be an old enmity, though an investigation is underway.
