In Pakistan, the main driver for assassinations is reported to be political, followed by personal motivated hits. In the first case, about half of the victims belonged to politics and governance - mainly politicians and party affiliates killed in the context of political rivalry. In the second case, the target group varied between all the different categories and assassinations were mainly conducted due to old enmity, love triangles and family disputes, inclusively related to property.
