PAKISTAN: Hundreds of Shi’ite Muslims blocked a major road into Quetta yesterday in protest at the murder of 11 Hazara coal miners by Islamic State.

The miners were abducted by Isis terrorists on Sunday, taken into the mountains and shot.

Isis has a record of murdering Shi’ite Muslim civilians in conflicts including its wars in Iraq and Syria.
