Gunmen attack Pakistan army HQ
A team of gunmen wielding assault rifles and grenades tried to break into Pakistan’s army headquarters today, sparking a ferocious 45-minute gun battle outside the capital that ended when all the assailants were killed, authorities said.
The audacious assault, which killed and injured several troops, was the third major militant attack in Pakistan in a week and came as the government said it was planning an imminent offensive against Islamist militants in their strongholds in the rugged mountains along the border with Afghanistan.
