Pakistan under attack again

Gunmen attacked at least two police offices in the Pakistani city of Lahore on Thursday, city officials said. Earlier, a suicide car bomb targeted a police station in the northwestern town of Kohat. Lahore came under attack once again on Thursday. Two police facilities and FIA building have been targeted by the terrorists in wave of attacks. Tehreek-e-Taliban Punjab, Amjad Farooqi Group, has claimed responsibility of attacks. In the first incident, five unidentified armed persons entered into the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) building situated at Temple Road in Lahore and started indiscriminately firing due to which seven people including two attackers and three FIA Inspectors have been killed. This is the same building near the Regal Chowk Lahore which was attacked last year by the terrorists in which at least 25 people including 13 FIA officials were killed and over 100 others were injured. Police have sealed the area and relief activities have been started. The injured are being shifted to Ganga Ram hospital. Two of the injured succumbed to their injuries in the hospital. The FIA building has been cleared off and hostages have been released. Policemen have arrested a suspected person. In another incident, 10-15 unidentified persons including three women wearing police uniform entered into Elite Force training centre at Bedian Road and started firing in which three people were killed and eight injured. Police have cordoned off the area. Operation against the terrorists has been started. In March 2009, masked gunmen stormed the same Manawan police academy, unleashing a fierce firefight that left at least 27 dead. In the third incident in Lahore, unidentified persons have attacked the Manawan police academy with hand grenades and left three officials dead. Special police force started the operation against the terrorists. According to latest reports, Manawan police academy has also been cleared off.
