Gunmen kill 18 in Pakistan bus ambush - Yahoo!

Seems to be sectarian and happened pretty close to Gilgit.

This unfortunate incidence happened in Kohistan district, the only district I avoid stopping and camping.
It was a typical case of communal tension leading to target killing in that part of country. Police used to escort traffic in convoys during night times and had just stopped this practice. :(
