Updated 1:00 PM [PT] - While use of faith is not uncommon in settling personal scores against Ahmadi Muslims and other minorities in Pakistan, however,the purported attacks and the murders reported here-under may include reasons of personal animosity against any one or both of the victims.
Ahmadiyya Times has independently learned that the victims were recipients of death threats and warnings of physical harm due to their faith.

Two Ahmadi Muslims, a father-son pair were murdered in cold blood in Rawalpindi Pakistan, local TV channel ARY Digital reported earlier today.
According to the relatives, the victims were on the extremist mullahs' hit list and have been receiving threats from the Muslim clerics to change their faith.
Masood Malik, (55+), who has been the target of hate-mail had gone to meet his son Umer Malik returning from a travel.
Umer Malik (30) arrived in Pakistan today morning and on the way back from the Airport the pair was met by the gunmen.
The gunmen opened fire on the car, killing Umer Malik instantly and Masood Malik passed away in the hospital.
The members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community are routinely targeted by the extremist Mullah of Pakistan.
The rogue element enjoys legal protection to persecute Ahmadis, provided in form of a constitutional amendment that declared Ahmadis a standalone class of citizens in Pakistan, whose existence is further restricted by several criminal statues in Pakistan enacted to penalize their profession of faith as Muslims.
The government of the Punjab and many elements within the federal government are known to openly associate with religious thugs, providing them clout and cover in persecution of the Ahmadiyya Muslim community.

This article shows another side of the story.
All sides should be heared before making an rash conclusions.
In such situations we all need to pray and focus on the important things.
This is not the time to accuse anyone but fight against unjustice!
