Independent Sources highlight Shia killings
Updated 16 January 2013
Recently, two independent sources have written articles on the violence and tragic deaths of Shia Muslims.
Ilyas Khan has written an article on BBC. He writes, “Wednesday's bombings of a Shia Muslim neighbourhood in the Pakistani city of Quetta that killed almost 100 people is a grim reminder of the power of sectarian militants to act as the arbiters of peace - and war - in this country.”

European newswire ‘The Independent’ has published an article addressing the absurd wave of persecution and killings of innocent Shias.
Patrick Cockburn writes, “It is a ferocious war waged by assassination, massacre, imprisonment and persecution that has killed tens of thousands of people. But non-Muslims – and many Muslims – scarcely notice this escalating conflict that pits Shia minority against Sunni majority.”

The World Federation was involved in assisting with background facts for both the articles. The World Federation media team is looking to contribute to mainstream media wherever possible.
