Taleban gunmen in north-west Pakistan have attacked a school bus, killing the driver and injuring three pupils in a sectarian attack, police say.
Some reports say several children were abducted in the attack in Hangu.
Police say the children in the bus were Shia Muslims. It follows the murder of a Shia lawyer in Hangu on Thursday.
The Taleban are active in Hangu - where there is tension between Shias and Sunnis - and have imposed their version of Sharia law in parts of the area.
Hangu - in North West Frontier Province - has seen especially violent clashes in the past between Shias and Sunnis during the Shia religious ceremony of Ashura.
The hardline Sunni Taleban say they consider the Shias heretical.
