Drive-by shooting kills up to 8 on bus in Pakistan

ISLAMABAD, Sep 21 (Reuters) Unknown gunmen fired on a minibus in northern Pakistan today, killing up to eight people, including school teachers and students, police said.

The bus was sprayed with bullets fired from a passing car in Haripur town, some 40 km northwest of the capital, Islamabad.

''It was indiscriminate firing. Seven to eight people have been killed,'' Haripur police chief Abdul Rashid said, though he added that the attackers were probably targeting one or two people on the bus.
