Pakistan: Gunmen again target army officer

None

Officials say two gunmen attacked an army officer and soldier in the Pakistani capital, wounding both. It's the third such attack in less than three weeks and comes as the military wages an offensive against the Taliban along the Afghan border.

 

No group has claimed responsibility for the attacks, which also killed another army officer. But they could signal that Islamist militants are increasingly turning to assassination tactics. (AP)
