PARACHINAR - Suspected militants attacked an ambulance in northwest Pakistan on Thursday killing seven people including two nurses, a doctor and local residents said.
The ambulance was taking people to a health meeting when it was attacked, said a doctor, named Mohibullah, who is based in the town of Parachinar, near the Afghan border.
Residents of the area said the ambulance was attacked with a rocket-propelled grenade in the Kurram tribal region, which has seen bloody sectarian clashes between Sunni and Shia Muslims in recent months.
