Attackers threw grenades and opened fire on a leader of the Pakistan People's Party in Lahore, killing his guard and driver and wounding five people, including himself. PPP leader Mian Akhlaq Guddu was on his way to a nearby market when three men intercepted their car and hurled three hand-grenades at them. One of the grenades smashed through the windscreen of their car, but it did not explode. One of the two grenades burst outside the car, leaving all the car occupants and three passersby wounded. The attackers then opened fire at the car and ran away. The condition of the PPP leader and his guard was stated to be critical. The guard with bullet injuries in the head was later shifted to the Lahore General Hospital.
