15 Bus Passengers Burned Alive in Southwest Pakistan

Fifteen passengers were burned alive when a passenger bus was set on fire by unknown men in Pakistan's volatile southwestern Balochistan province, an official said. 

Naseer Ahmed Nasir, deputy commissioner in the city of Sibi, said four men on motorcycles initially opened fire on a parked passenger bus at a hotel.

"The armed men then came close to the bus and sprinkled petrol, setting it on fire," he said. 

He said most of the dead were either children or women.
