Eight bullet-ridden bodies and an injured man were found Sunday in Pakistan's Balochistan province.
The injured man told police that he and the eight victims were labourers and were kidnapped by unidentified militants while working on a poultry farm in Sakran region Saturday afternoon, Xinhua reported.
He said he and the other eight labourers were from Punjab province while two others belonged to Balochistan.
"The kidnappers shot all Punjabi labourers, including me, Sunday morning, and set the two Baloch men free," he said.
He said that the attackers fled the scene after shooting them.
A probe has been launched into the incident.
