Gun attack on police academy kills 11
Gunmen armed with rifles and hand grenades attacked a police training academy in eastern Pakistan today, killing 11 officers and wounding dozens in a brazen assault that underscored the growing threat militancy poses to the US-allied, nuclear-armed country.
The gunbattle on the outskirts of Lahore – coming less than a month after the deadly armed ambush of Sri Lanka’s visiting cricket team in the heart of the city – was still going on more than three hours after the attack began.
