Suspected sectarian attack kills two

A remote-controlled bomb ripped through a passenger van in Kurram on Monday, killing two people and wounding 14 others in a suspected sectarian attack, officials said. The vehicle was on its way from Peshawar to Parachinar when the bomb exploded near Sadda town in the tribal region of Kurram, senior administration official Mohammad Anis said.
"It was an IED (improvised explosive device) blast," he told AFP. The van was badly damaged in the remote-controlled explosion and two male passengers were killed while 14 people, including five women and four children, were wounded, he said.
