QUETTA, Pakistan: Gunmen killed at least 11 people in southwestern Pakistan, officials said on Saturday, with police searching for suspected separatist militants after migrant laborers were singled out for execution.

Police said six gunmen stopped a bus near the city of Naushki in Balochistan province at about 8 p.m. on Friday and checked people's identification cards, abducting nine workers from the eastern Punjab region.
