  In this Thursday, Sept. 6, 2012 photo, Pakistani Gulbar Abbas reads the Quran at the entrance of the Shiite Muslim graveyard in Pakistan's violent Baluchistan capital of Quetta, Pakistan, where radical Sunni Muslim rivals have terrorized and murdered minority Shiites in a wave of suicide bombings and target killings. In recent years Pakistan's sparsely populated southwestern Baluchistan province has been spiraling deeper into chaos, wracked by a secessionist insurgency that has been overtaken in the last two years by a violent sectarian campaign.
