Pakistani Militants Stage Spectacular Raid on Police Academy

In Pakistan, militant groups, most probably linked to the Taliban, are intensifying their attacks, and no longer only in the border area with Afghanistan: On Monday, they went on a shooting spree in a police training academy near the eastern city of Lahore. They managed to occupy the place for eight hours before security forces regained control in a bloody battle. Earlier this month, gunmen attacked the visiting Sri Lankan cricket team in Lahore.
