CRIME: TWO DEAD, FIVE INJURED AS GUNMEN OPEN FIRE ON SCHOOL BUS IN PAKISTAN
Suspected Gunmen opened fire on a school bus in Pakistan on Thursday, killing two girls and wounding five other children, police said.
The attack took place in the town of Attock in Punjab province as the children were on their way to school in the morning, said police official Usman Haider.
All of the dead and wounded children were aged between five and 10, Haider added.
The motive of the crime was not immediately known, but the preliminary investigation pointed towards a feud between two families, Haider said.
“We are also looking into the possibility of terrorism,” the officer said.
Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari condemned the incident and ordered police to capture the gunmen, his office said in a statement.
