“At least 13 people were killed by gunmen who attacked a minibus in north Afghanistan on Saturday, local officials said. All victims belonged to the largely Shi’ite Hazara ethnic minority that was persecuted by the hardline Sunni Taliban during their rule in 1996-2001, said Jafar Haidari, district governor of Zari in Balkh province, where the attack took place.”
