A female professor at Pakistan's Balochistan University in Quetta has been killed in a drive-by shooting while travelling in a rickshaw.
Local police said gunmen shot assistant professor of mass communication Nazima Talib, 50, in Pakistan's troubled province of Balochistan on Tuesday.
Baloch Liberation Army claimed responsibility for the murder, declaring that the attack was in retaliation for the killing of two Baloch women in Quetta and Pasni as well as the torture of female political workers in Mand and Tump.
Balochistan is Pakistan's poorest and most neglected province, where armed Baloch rebels carry out acts of terrorism with the aim of achieving greater autonomy inside the country.
