Gunmen kill 8 in Kurram bus shooting


Kurram Agency:Gunmen attacked a bus carrying mostly Shiite Muslims, killing eight and injuring five of them on Friday in Kurram Agency. The gunmen who carried out the ambush in the Bagan area of the Kurram Agency also kidnapped 18 people from the bus. The attack was the latest blow to the peace deal, which was meant to end a four-year conflict that cost hundreds of lives, but has failed to extinguish violence in the area. The bus was attacked as it was traveling on the main road that runs through Kurram that connects Parachinar with Peshawar.
