[News Manager]

Masked gunmen attacked a bus about an hour's drive from the Afghan capital Kabul on Tuesday and opened fire on all its passengers killing 13 people, local officials said. It is the third time unknown gunmen have targeted bus passengers over the past month. The Taliban insurgent group have denied any connection to the attacks, which some have blamed on militants who have sworn allegiance to the Islamic State. The gunmen wore black masks over their faces, according to Wardak acting governor Abdul Majid Khogyani.
