Islamabad: At least
10 bus passengers were shot dead Tuesday in northern Pakistan
after they were ordered to disembark from the vehicle.
The attackers stopped the bus in Bonar Das area of Chilas city and
ordered the passengers to get off the vehicle, before opening fire
on them.
The gunmen pushed the bus into a river after the attack, Xinhua
quoted the local Urdu channel AAJ TV as saying.
The victims were suspected to be Shia Muslims since the attack
came soon after clashes between Sunni Muslims and police in
neighbouring Gilgit city.
They were protesting against the arrest of their people. The
violence had also spread to Chilas, where at least five buses were
set on fire. A curfew was imposed in Chilas.
