The bullet-riddled bodies of five Pakistani migrants believed headed for Europe via Iran were found on Saturday in the same area where 15 bodies were discovered three days earlier, officials said. The five migrants, whose corpses were found in the district of Ketch in Balochistan province near the Iranian border had been killed two days ago, said provincial government spokesman Anwaar ul Haq.
As with the previous 15 they were ethnic Punjabis who were illegally travelling to Iran, he said. Senior administration official Akbar Harifal said the killings seemed to be the work of insurgent groups. The army said an insurgent leader believed to have murdered the 15 had been killed.
