BBC News - 'Seven die' as gunmen attack Pakistan army campsite

Seven die' as gunmen attack Pakistan army campsite

At least seven security personnel have been killed and five injured after gunmen opened fire on an army campsite in central Pakistan, officials say.

The attack happened at a site along the Chenab river in the Gujrat district of central Punjab province.

The camp had been set up to search for the body of an army pilot whose helicopter crashed in May.

Security targets in Pakistan's north-west are frequently hit, but analysts say attacks in this area are unusual.

No group has said it carried out the attack as yet.

"The exact number of attackers is not known but they came by motorbike and sprayed bullets on the troops from the bridge," a senior security official told the AFP news agency on condition of anonymity.

Suspected militants kill 7 security personnel in Pakistan - The Times of India

ISLAMABAD: Suspected militants attacked a security forces camp near the city of Gujrat in Pakistan's Punjab province on Monday, killing six soldiers and a policeman.

Five soldiers were injured in the pre-dawn attack, officials said.

TV news channels reported that the security personnel were attacked by a group of gunmen shortly after they had offered their morning prayers.

The gunmen, who were using cars and motorcycles, fled after the shooting. The military confirmed the incident and the casualties in a brief statement.

It said seven security personnel, including a police official, were killed and five others were injured "due to firing by unknown assailants near Wazirabad", a town located 12 km from Gujrat city.

The security personnel were part of a small rescue party that had camped on the bank of the Chenab river to search for the body of a pilot mission since a military helicopter crashed on May 23, the statement said.

The injured persons were taken to the nearest military hospital in Gujranwala district, the statement said.

No group claimed responsibility for the incident. The attack occurred hours after thousands of supporters of the Defa-e-Pakistan Council arrived in Gujrat as part of a "long march" to protest the government's decision to reopen NATO supply routes to Afghanistan.

The DPC is an alliance of over 40 religious and extremist groups, including the Jamaat-ud-Dawah and the banned Sipah-e- Sahaba. The DPC is opposed to the transportation of supplies for foreign troops in Afghanistan through Pakistani territory. The supply routes were closed last November after a cross-border NATO air strike killed 24 Pakistani soldiers.

The government reopened the supply lines last week after the US apologised for the NATO attack.

This is really worrying-

 

[foxbat]

some members here keep arguing that terrorism in Pakistan is on decline, because the attacks though have gone up, are now limited to border areas.. Looks like that's changing too..

 

[Shardul.....the lion]

Rest in peace.............

It looks like an opportunistic coward attack...
