The vehicle was carrying men, women and children from the Ismaili Muslim community, said Ahmed Chinoy, chairman of the Citizen Police Liaison Committee in Karachi, Pakistan's largest and most populous city.

A violent extremist group that persecutes Pakistan's Shiite Muslim minority claimed responsibility for the attack and vowed to carry out more.

Ismailism is a Shiite sect. Unlike some other Shiite groups, Ismailis hadn't been heavily targeted by militants in Pakistan previously.

"This is the first such incident of its kind towards the Ismaili community," said Zohra Yusuf, the chairman of the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan. "Nothing on this scale has ever been seen before."

Most victims shot in the head

The gunmen appeared to have been well-prepared for the attack. Most of the victims were shot in the head, said Pir Muhammad Shah, senior superintendent of police for East Karachi.

Isn't that precious? Well-prepared for a soft defenseless target.

Muslims.

The more helpless their target — the braver Muslims become.

Muzzies will kill you for being a Jew.

If you’re not Jewish, they’ll kill you for being Christian.

If you’re not Christian, they’ll kill you for being Hindu, or Buddhist, or Zoroastrian, or Pagan.

If you’re none of these, if you actually happen to be a muzzie yourself ...

That doesn’t necessarily keep you alive.

THEY’LL KILL YOU FOR BEING THE WRONG KIND OF MUZZIE!
