KABUL, Ramadan 29, 1435, Jul 26, 2014, SPA -- Gunmen intercepted two minibuses travelling through central Afghanistan and killed at least 14 passengers overnight, Reuters cited officials as saying on Friday. "The insurgents stopped two vans and after checking peoples' identifications cards, they separated 14 passengers from 32 others and shot them dead," said provincial governor Sayed Anwar Rahmati. At least three women and a three-year-old child were among those killed. Sediq Sediqqi, an interior ministry spokesman, accused insurgents of carrying out the attack, saying it was "aimed at instilling fear in the people". --SPA 12:19 LOCAL TIME 09:19 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
