Officials said the buses were ambushed in the hills of Babusar Top, around 160 kilometres north of Islamabad. The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) claimed responsibility of killing, adds The Express Tribune. In a message, TTP Dara Adam Khel/ Khyber Agency chapter spokesman Muhammad Afridi said that the people killed were Shias who are involved in killing Sunnis against the will of Islam. We will target them in the future, he said.
