Two soldiers including Lance Naik Razzaq and Sepoy Khadim Hussain were shot dead on Tuesday when motorcycle gunmen opened fire on their pick-up truck in the southern city of Karachi.
Both were shot in the head and face, Dr Kaleem Shaikh of Jinnah Post Graduate Medical College said.
Sindh police have formed a special team to probe the incident. According to preliminary investigation, no bullet shells were recovered from the crime scene as it was suspected that the attackers might have used a bag while firing 9mm pistols to leave no trace behind.
