Gunmen killed 13 bus passengers

Gunmen have killed at least 13 bus passengers 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.

Meerak Baloch, a spokesman for the separatist Baloch Liberation Army, told AFP that it claimed responsibility for the killings.

"These 13 people were either employees of the army or of other security institutions," he was reported as saying.

Radio Pakistan quoted Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari condemning the attack and ordering local authorities to take strict action.
