On May 18, 2011, in Quetta, Pakistan, five unarmed Chechens were gunned down by the PAK military at a military check point. Three women and two men were killed.

Accounts of what happened and why they were shot dead varied from one officer to another, until witnesses came forward. This resulted in an inquiry that concluded that neither of the five Chechens were armed or hiding explosives.

Video of the shooting also shows that the Chechens, apparently trying to take refuge at a checkpoint once confronted by a number of PAK soldiers, did not act aggressively before or during the shooting. Dozens of machine guns opened up on the five Chechens and as one female, downed by bullets but alive, raised her hand in a waving motion (surrender, please stop, etc.) the PAK soldiers seemed to take aim at her and continue with a barrage of bullets.

Yeah.. Chechens just like vacationing in Pakistan. You know why they were probably there.
Yup. And even with the outcome of the trial, finding that all were unarmed, gotta wonder what the hell these Chechens were in Pakistan for. A training base nearby, I'm sure.

Unless they took a ferry across the Caspian Sea (still with atleast 3 countries to get through), shit, they had to go from Chechnya then get through Georgia, then Azerbaijan (or Armenia), then a huge trek through Iran before reaching the Pakistan border.

That's a long way from home for 3 women (one was 7 months pregnant) and just 2 men. Stories from officials to witnesses vary so much the it's impossible to really tell why the Pakistanis opened fire. Probably a case of shoot 'em now and check the bodies later.

I've read before that men (especially Muslims) who might be looked at suspiciously while in another country (especially a place like Pakistan) sometimes will bring women along with them to make it look a bit better. Instead of just a couple Chechen males in Pakistan for no good reason, now they can at least say that the women are their wives, related in some way, etc. and they are there maybe to.. visit an old friend.. something like that. Or it could be that the women were going to suicide bomb training camp while the men went to regular jihadi training camp.

In the end though, who really knows? And to be honest, even with all five of them being dead right now.. who really cares? I've never read one good thing about a Chechen. Male or female. Good riddance. Should have stayed in your own little shit hole.

why does it seem as tho some have rope tied around their hands/feet?
The ropes were used to drag the bodies away from where they were shot (notice that the posts perimeter barbed wire has been pulled/cut away so that they could do this). I guess that it was still feared that after a few hundred rounds that their bodies might still have been actively rigged to Ka-boom.
