A Pakistani doctor who fled religious persecution more than two decades ago was killed in front of his family on Monday while on a trip to his homeland.
The dual Canadian-American citizen was an Ohio-based cardiologist. He was murdered in eastern Pakistan on Monday while visiting a cemetery where his relatives are buried.
Mehdi Ali Qamar was targeted by gunmen on motorcycles and was shot repeatedly in front of his wife, sister-in-law and young son.
The gunmen returned a second time to ensure Qamar had been killed, shooting him at least 10 times, police said.
Qamar was killed, local officials said, because he was a member of the Ahmadi sect of Islam, considered heretical in Pakistan.
Fleeing religious persecution, Qamar emigrated to Canada in 1991 before settling up a medical practice in Ohio.
A spokesperson for a group that represents the Ahmadi faith in Pakistan condemned the "brutal murder of a doctor who had served humanity without discrimination."
