QUETTA – Gunmen have killed at least 13 bus passengers on Tuesday in the southwest of Pakistan, according to officials.

Provincial home secretary Akbar Hussain Durrani told AFP news agency that militants had blocked a road and held up a group of security personnel.

They then stopped at least two buses and took passengers away — the bodies of 13 people were later found nearby.

The assault reportedly targeted people from the Punjab province who were working in Balochistan.
