Gunmen attacked a school van in northwestern Pakistan on Tuesday, killing three children, a teacher and the driver, police said. The strike took place in Matani on the outskirts of the main northwestern city of Peshawar.
The district is the scene of a vicious conflict between government-backed tribal armies and Islamist militants with links to al-Qaeda and the Taliban who are based in the nearby Afghan border regions. The extremists have targeted civilians there before. (AP)
