Gunmen shot to death two Pakistani air force personnel and a shopkeeper in a town near Gwadar on Tuesday, said local police official Izat Ali.

Other officials said the ruling Pakistan People’s Party simply shifted priorities away from Baluchistan and spent the money building roads in its main areas of support in Sindh province.

‘‘The solution to Gwadar is the Chinese, since they have shown the willingness to work in Pakistan under tough conditions,’’ said shareholder Dhedhi.
