Police officer Rustam Khan said gunmen attacked a car carrying local staff of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization in Baluchistan province’s Mastung district Thursday, killing two people.

A U.N. official said the two killed were a driver and a member of the group’s project staff. Another member was wounded.

The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the media.
