Gunmen have killed at least 13 bus passengers in the southwest of Pakistan, according to officials.

巴基斯坦西南部地区，持枪歹徒袭击了一辆公交车，至少13人遇害。
 
Provincial1 home secretary Akbar Hussain Durrani told AFP news agency that militants2 had blocked a road and held up a group of security personnel.
 
They then stopped at least two buses and took passengers away - the bodies of 13 people were later found nearby.
 
The assault reportedly targeted people from the Punjab province who were working in Balochistan.
 
It happened on Monday night in the Mach area, about 50km southeast of the provincial capital, Quetta.
 
Balochistan is plagued by both sectarian infighting between Sunnis and Shias and a rebellion by Baloch separatists, who want greater political autonomy（自治权） and a share of natural resources.
 
Meerak Baloch, a spokesman for the separatist Baloch Liberation Army, told AFP that it claimed responsibility for the killings3.
 
"These 13 people were either employees of the army or of other security institutions," he was reported as saying.
 
Radio Pakistan quoted Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari condemning4 the attack and ordering local authorities to take strict action.
