Five killed in wedding attack

A MAN in northwestern Pakistan shot and killed five women, including his new bride, because he was angry that their relatives had invited enemies to his wedding, police said.

The gunman fired at the women with an assault rifle while they worked in a wheat field in Seri Karaki, a village about 30 miles northwest of the capital Islamabad, said Zakir Hussain, a local police officer.

Hours after the attack, police arrested the suspect, hiding in a house in the village.
