QUETTA, Pakistan (Reuters) - Gunmen on Wednesday shot dead four members of the Shi'ite Muslim minority in Pakistan's southwestern province of Baluchistan, officials said, in what police suspect was a sectarian attack.

Recent violence in Baluchistan has fuelled concern about security for projects in the $57-billion (£43.8 billion) China Pakistan Economic Corridor, a transport and energy link planned to run from western China to Pakistan's southern deep-water port of Gwadar.
