PESHAWAR, Pakistan, May 4, 2023 (BSS/AFP) - Five teachers and two labourers were gunned down Thursday at a school in northwest Pakistan in an attack linked to Sunni-Shiite sectarian tensions, police and government officials said.

"When the two attackers went inside (the school), they identified Shiite people and separated them before opening fire," Muhammad Imran, police chief for Kurram district in Pakistan's former tribal areas, told AFP.
