Assalaam O Alikum.  Here is some headlines of news paper agencies about deadly attack of gunmens on GHQ Pakistan Army Islamabad.

According to BBC:

Six soldiers and four gunmen have been killed in an attack on Pakistan’s army HQ outside the capital Islamabad, the military says.

Troops battled the gunmen after they attacked the heavily armed complex in Rawalpindi in army uniforms. Earlier reports said eight soldiers died.

Officials said one of the dead soldiers was a brigadier, and that two gunmen remained at large.

The attack comes as the army prepares a major operation against the Taliban.

It also follows a series of bombings in north-western Pakistan. On Friday at least 50 died in a blast in Peshawar.

The BBC’s Aleem Maqbool in Islamabad says that in recent days Taliban positions in the tribal areas have been bombed by the air force, amid speculation that the army’s offensive there is soon to be intensified.

There was a period of relative quiet in August after Taliban leader Baitullah Mehsud was killed, but the rate of militant attacks has increased since then, our correspondent adds.

High-profile targets

No-one has yet claimed responsibility for the latest attack, but the Taliban has been threatening to carry out attacks unless operations against the militant group were stopped.

Police official Mohammed Jalil told AP news agency that gunmen drove up to the army compound in a white van just before midday local time (0600 GMT).

They took up positions, fired on the compound and threw hand grenades, security officials said.

Roads to the area were sealed off and helicopters hovered over the compound.

The military reported that the attack had been repelled after a gunbattle lasting around 45 minutes.

“The situation is under control … all the gunmen have been killed”, Maj-Gen Athar Abbas told local TV.

However, military officials later said that two more militants were still at large, after reports of sporadic gunfire in and around the compound.

AP quoted an intelligence official as saying that the two managed to slip into the compound and troops were trying to capture or kill them.

Islamist militants have carried out a number of attacks against high-profile, high-security targets in recent years.

In March this year gunmen opened fire on a bus carrying the Sri Lankan cricket team in the city of Lahore. Six policemen and a driver were killed and several of the team were injured.

In the same month, dozens of people were killed when a police training centre on the outskirts of the city was occupied by gunmen.

According to CNN:

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (CNN) — Ten people died when camouflaged gunmen in a minivan opened fire Saturday at a Pakistani army headquarters checkpoint, a top military spokesman said.

Four gunmen and six army guards died in the raging gunbattle in Rawalpindi, army Gen. Athar Abbas told CNN affiliate Geo TV.

A search operation was under way for two militants involved in the attack, he said.

Another military official said the Taliban has claimed responsibility for the incident.

It was the third major attack in Pakistan this week.

A suicide car bomb carrying 50 kilograms (110 pounds) of explosives killed at least 52 people Friday in the northern city of Peshawar.

It was the deadliest suicide attack ever in Peshawar, said government officials.

A suicide attack at the offices of the U.N. World Food Programme in Islamabad on Monday killed five employees and wounded several others.

Last month, several blasts in northern Pakistan left 17 people dead.

According to SKY NEWS:

Four gunmen have been killed and another two are on the loose after they launched a brazen attack on Pakistan’s army headquarters.

The suspected militants, brandishing assault rifles and grenades and dressed as soldiers, tried to break into the compound in Rawalpindi.

They were then involved in a shoot-out with troops.

A military spokesman said four attackers had died, along with eight soldiers.

“All the four terrorists have been killed. The fighting is over now. The situation is under control,” Major General Athar Abbas told TV channel Geo.

But it was later revealed that two gunmen were still inside the compound and security forces were searching for them.

The group drove up to the tightly guarded site shortly before noon and tried to force their way inside before being stopped by troops, said police official Mohammed Jamil.

He said the attackers jumped out of their Suzuki van, took up positions around the area and began firing at the soldiers.

One gunman threw a grenade, while others fired sporadically at soldiers manning the checkpoint at the compound’s entrance, said a senior military official.

He said top army officials had been trapped inside the compound, near the capital Islamabad.

The 45-minute attack came a day after a bomb killed nearly 50 people in the north-western city of Peshawar.

It also came as the government said it was planning an imminent offensive against Islamic militants in their strongholds in the rugged mountains along the border with Pakistan.
