Quetta: The truck drivers injured in the Balochistan attack, who were initially presumed dead by rescue personnel, are now recovering.
On Monday, Muneer Ahmed, along with three colleagues, was traveling through the southern province of Balochistan in a convoy of four trucks, with no reports of any violence. They were about an hour away from Quetta.
Suddenly, armed men waved at them from a dusty stretch of highway, pulling the drivers out of their trucks and lining them up on the side of the road.
Ahmed, 50, started reciting verses in a panic, while the gunmen opened fire and dumped the bodies in a river.
Rescue workers put the lifeless bodies of Ahmed and his three companions into a vehicle to take them to the hospital where medical staff realized they had survived.
