Attaullah Khogyani, a government spokesman, said, “Around 1 a.m., a group of armed men opened fire on passengers on a bus in Wardak province, killing 13 people.

According to reports, the killers "selected" their victims from among the passengers on the bus before shooting them "one by one." Authorities said the victims were all Shiite Muslims and members of the Hazara ethnic group.

It is known that attacks stemming from ethnic conflict have become increasingly common in Afghanistan recently. Also on the 24th of last month, masked men carrying weapons abducted 30 Shiite and Hazara people from a vehicle traveling in central Afghanistan.
