STORYLINE:

Three people were killed when up to 400 Afghan refugees attacked a post office, bank and police station in the small town of Kachlak, 30 kilometres north of Quetta.

One, identified by doctors at the civil hospital in Quetta as 13-year-old Hamid Ullah, died of gunshot wounds.

The police superintendent in Quetta, Abid Ali, said the refugees first attacked the bank and post office in Kachlak, turning on the police station when officers tried to break them up.

However, protester Mohammed Aman said the demonstration was peaceful and the police gunfire was unprovoked, denying police claims that the protesters were wielding batons.

One police officer received a head wound in the clashes.

The dead were taken to Quetta hospital.

Quetta police chief Abid Ali said 75 people were arrested.

The crackdown followed a day-long riot Monday in the Islamic fundamentalist stronghold of Quetta where protesters demanded an end to the U-S-led attack on Afghanistan.
