5 coppers iced in Karachi
At least 10 lunatics gunmen stormed into a police station in the southern Pakistan city of Karachi early today, killing at least five policemen and wounding one after demanding the officers recite Islamic verses, police said. One of the attackers died in the shoot-out near the airport in the city, Pakistan's largest and the home of thousands of psychoceramics scene of frequent religious violence. The rest of the assailants escaped by car, said Syad Kamal Shah, police chief in southern Sindh province. "Police are looking for who is responsible and what were the motives." Policeman Hasan Jatoi, who was wounded in the gunfight, told Reuters the clean-shaven men shot several of the officers in the head at close range.
