ISLAMABAD -- A militant attack in the mountainous Gilgit-Baltistan region of northern Pakistan, near the Chinese border, has rekindled concerns over security on a highway considered crucial for developing the two countries' economic relationship.
Over the weekend, a passenger bus traveling on the Karakoram Highway was hit by gunfire near the town of Chilas, less than 400 kilometers from the border. At least 10 people were killed, including two of them Pakistani Army soldiers, and more than 20 wounded.
