Battlefield Lahore
Pakistani commandos regained control of a police academy outside Lahore on Monday evening after militants rampaged through the complex, killing at least eight cadets and wounding scores before holing up inside for hours.
Fighters loyal to Pakistani Taliban leader Baitullah Mehsud were suspected of carrying the attack, interior ministry head Rehman Malik told a news conference. He said one of the suspects was an Afghan.
“Four terrorists were killed and three arrested,” interior ministry secretary Kamal Shah said. He said 89 policemen were wounded.
Punjab police chief Khawaja Khalid Farooq said eight recruits were killed though there had been reports the toll would be higher as there were 900 cadets in the academy at the time of the attack.
