Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah expressed concern over the law and order situation in Punjab as two officials from the Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) were gunned down on Tuesday by unknown assailants in Khanewal.
A statement issued by the Punjab police said Additional Inspector General Sahibzada Shahzad Sultan had departed for the crime scene after receiving information about the incident.
The perpetrators will be brought to justice, the spokesperson said, adding that further facts would be brought to light after the matter was investigated.

Punjab Chief Minister Parvez Elahi took notice of the incident, and paid tribute to the slain officials while extending his condolences to their families. Elahi also sought a report from the provincial police chief.

"The law and order situation in Punjab is a cause for concern," he said. He called on the government to take steps to prevent such incidents.

Unfortuante incident, this does not look like TTP either.

Perhaps other groups are taking advantage of the current situation, or is this a one off? Let's see.

As for Sanaullah, ullu kay pathay stop politicizing these things. Tumharay daur main bhi yeh sab hota tha. You just focus on 22 sq km area in Islamabad, wahan ka crime to sambhala nhn ja raha. In the past week 4 robberies in my sector alone. You are afraid to go out at 11 PM now in Islamabad in certain sectors, or stand outside your street.

There is a possibility that, Rana JI using his assets to make Punjab Govt look bad. They are already blaming KPK Govt for everything.

The miscreants have reached Punjab. Worrisome situation.

TTP has marked targets already in Pakistani cities. They have been keeping eyes on movement and routes of officials.

Someone mentioned these were ISI officers.

Punjab has never had a dearth of lunatics: Lashkar e Jhangvi, Sipah e Sahaba, Sipah e Muhammad and many more. They've been killing scores of people including MNAs (Maulana Azam Tariq in 2003).

Terrorists don't need to migrate from KPK or Balochistan. There are tons of crazies in the heartland.

Wah, new year start with new wave of terrorism. Jis ko mauqa mile bhaag lo Pakistan se.

Someone mentioned these were ISI officers.

Yes, a director (Naveed) and an inspector. Likely lured and assassinated by AQ.

For those who don't know, a director is roughly a Col-level civilian rank in the ISI. Unlike military officers, who often come on 2.5-year secondments, the civilian cadre are professionals who are all career intelligence officers (unfortunately, essentially all top positions are monopolized by mil officers). As such, he was a CT specialist who had spent his career combating terrorism.

Indian SM accounts are taking credit of today's incident.

Can be gang/tribe/political attack.
