Peshawar: At least three policemen were killed by two Taliban gunmen yesterday in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, the police said.
"Three policemen have been shot dead in Landy Sarak in Khazana area," a police official said, adding, "The men were traveling in a van when they were targeted by armed motorcyclists who fired 12 bullets."
"It seems like a targeted attack. The attackers were on motorbikes who intercepted the vehicle," the official said.
The Afghanistan-based Jamaatul Ahrar militant group, a splinter faction of Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), claimed responsibility for the attack.
