Gunmen kill 10 laborers near port in southwest Pakistan
Published May 13, 2017 Associated Press

QUETTA, Pakistan –  A Pakistani official says gunmen have killed 10 laborers who were working on a road project in the country's southwest

Local police official Abdul Salam says the attack took place Saturday near the recently completed Gwadar port in Baluchistan province, which was built with Chinese funding. There was no immediate claim of responsibility.

China is building a network of roads and power plants under a project known as the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor or CPEC. However, Salam said the road where the attack took place is not part of the project.

These were not Chinese workers; but it sounds like as one of the articles says, these "Separatists" are against Chinese investment in the area though this road was not one of those projects.
