    Islamic State has killed two Chinese teachers in kidnapped from Pakistan's Balochistan in May, reported the IS-affiliated Amaq news agency. Armed men dressed as police had abducted the two from provincial capital Quetta on May 24. Balochistan said it is working to confirm "whether the report is true". Beijing said it is "gravely concerned", and is "working with Pakistani authorities" to verify the information.

    IS kills two Chinese teachers abducted from Pakistan

    Islamic State has killed two Chinese teachers in kidnapped from Pakistan's Balochistan in May, reported the IS-affiliated Amaq news agency. Armed men dressed as police had abducted the two from provincial capital Quetta on May 24. Balochistan said it is working to confirm "whether the report is true". Beijing said it is "gravely concerned", and is "working with Pakistani authorities" to verify the information.

    Islamic State's reach in Pakistan

    Though Islamic State has not yet succeeded in gaining a stronghold in Pakistan, it has claimed several terrorist attacks in recent times. On June 8, Islamabad announced it had neutralized 12 "hardcore terrorists" of a banned local outfit during a three-day raid near Quetta.

    China's concerns about Islamic terrorism in Pakistan

    Terrorist attacks in Pakistan might hit Chinese involvement in bilateral projects; it has pledged $57 bn for its "Belt and Road" program. In Balochistan, Beijing is working on a new port. The number of Pakistanis studying mandarin has also jumped since the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor was signed in 2014. Another fear for China is Islamic terrorists linking with separatists in Xinjiang.

    Chinese 'teachers' killed by IS in Pakistan were 'preaching'- Islamabad

    After the kidnap-murder of two Chinese teachers in Pakistan by the IS, Islamabad has now said both 'teachers' were "engaged in evangelical activities". Pakistani media quoted Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar as saying that though Islamabad owes security to its visitors, the latter are "equally bound to abide by the terms and conditions of their visas". It is likely to annoy Beijing and hit relations.
