Pakistan under attack

Pakistan security forces on Monday overpowered gunmen who stormed a police academy and unleashed fierce gun battles in a spectacular commando-style raid that left eight recruits dead.Hundreds of policemen fanned out across the rooftop of the main building and around the camp near the eastern city of Lahore, cheering and firing into the air in joy after the nearly eight-hour siege, in which dozens were wounded.Officials said the assailants were masked and some were in police uniform, with others in civilian clothes and carrying sports bags.
