At least 11 people were killed and six others injured as unidentified gunmen opened fire on a passenger vehicle in Pakistan’s northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province on Saturday.

The gunmen ambushed the passenger vehicle in Kanj Alizai area of Kurram district bordering Afghanistan, the Deputy Commissioner said.

The attackers sprayed the vehicle with bullets killing 11 passengers and injuring six others, including a woman.

The law enforcement personnel rushed to the site and cordoned off the entire area and started a search operation to arrest the fleeing accused.

No group has claimed any responsibility as yet for the killings.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
