Two security officials have been killed when gunmen on a motorcycle opened fire on a military vehicle in the Pakistani capital of Islamabad.
Police official Tahir Alam said Brigadier Moin Haider and his driver were killed and a guard was also wounded in the shooting, which happened early Thursday.
"Witnesses have told us two men came on a motorcycle and opened fire," city police official Abdul Qadir was quoted as saying by Reuters.
No group has yet claimed the responsibility of Thursday's attack.
The incident came after a wave of bloodshed has killed more than 170 people in Pakistan over the past three weeks, pressuring the military to launch an offensive in the volatile South Waziristan on Saturday.
