Gunmen in northwestern Pakistan killed a driver and a security official on Monday when they ambushed a convoy of trucks carrying food, medicine and other supplies for thousands of residents trapped by sectarian violence, authorities said, as reported by Associated Press.
As per the details, this was the third such attack in Kurram, a district in the restive Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, where at least 130 people have died in recent months in clashes between rival Shiite and Sunni tribes.
The police officials said that the attack happened when the trucks were heading to Parachinar, the main city in Kurram. According to the local administration, the police had launched an operation to nab the perpetrators of the attack. The authorities also said that some of the aid trucks were looted and burned by the attackers.
