Gunmen ambush a bus and kill 14 passengers after forcing them off the vehicle on a coastal highway in Pakistan’s southwest – officials
People ride on a crowded passenger bus to reach their villages at a bus terminal in Lahore, Pakistan, Monday, August 20, 2018.
A Pakistani official says gunmen have ambushed a bus and killed 14 passengers after forcing them off the vehicle on a highway in the country's southwest. He says about three dozen people were travelling to the southwestern port of Gwadar when gunmen stopped the bus and killed 14 people after checking their identity cards. The motive behind the killings is not known.
No one has claimed responsibility for the killings but Baluchi separatists often target security forces and people from Punjab, who tend to dominate the ranks of the military stationed in Baluchistan whom the separatists are fighting. Separatists have waged a low-level insurgency in Baluchistan, demanding a fairer share of the province's resources.
