QUETTA, Jumada II 16, 1432, May 19, 2011, SPA -- A Pakistan provincial government on Thursday ordered an inquiry into the killing by security forces of five Chechens, including three women, after media said they had been unarmed, Reuters reported. Last week, 80 people were killed in twin suicide bombings at a paramilitary academy in the northwestern town of Charsadda. On Tuesday, the paramilitary Frontier Corps and police gunned down five Chechens near a security checkpoint on the outskirts of Quetta, the capital of Baluchistan province, saying explosives were strapped to their bodies and they were attempting to attack government forces. -- SPA 17:34 LOCAL TIME 14:34 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/894420
