38 killed in Pakistan sectarian attacks

At least 38 people have died in Pakistan's restive northwest province of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa in two separate incidents.

Gunmen fired indiscriminately in two separate incidents of sectarian violence targeting Shia Muslims on Thursday.

An official said that as per information available to him, the deaths include that of six women, several children, and a number of police officers. 

He also said that around 10 attackers were involved in both incidents, firing indiscriminately from both sides of the road.

Sunni and Shiite Muslim tribes have been engaged in intermittent fighting for several months in Kurram, in the mountainous northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
