Pakistan brigadier killed in attack

Thu Oct 22, 2009

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.
