THIS is apropos of the news report ‘Domki family killing was a message’ (Feb 9). During the year of 2011 nearly 300 Baloch were killed. The target killing of Baloch is not a new issue. Several Baloch were abducted and after several months bullet-riddled bodies were found in broad daylight; now Baloch females are also becoming targets.

This tragic accident of 32-year-old Jhumar and 13-year-old Janna was ironic. The government should make a thorough probe.
