An attack described by officers at “extraordinary”, on Pakistan’s military hedquarters in Rawalpindi, has killed six soldiers and four of the gunmen who attacked, but another four attackers are holding 15 hostages, Reuters reports late Saturday. The gunmen appear to be Taliban, and the attack occured just as a major offensive against the Taliban is scheduled to start.
