PESHAWAR - More than 42 people were killed and 29 others injured when heavily-armed militants ambushed several vehicles carrying passengers in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Kurram district on Thursday, police and local officials said. President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif strongly condemned the deadliest attack in the mountainous region. President Zardari prayed to Allah Almighty for peace for the departed souls and strength for the bereaved families to bear the loss. In a statement issued by the PM Office Press Wing, the prime minister ordered to bring those involved in the attack to justice. The prime minister said the elements who shed the blood of innocent civilians were not worthy of being called Muslims and even humans.
