Gun Violence Pakistan

Reiterating India's 'zero tolerance to violence' stand, Tamil Nadu Governor RN Ravi has slammed former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh for signing an agreement with Pakistan on terrorism within months of the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks in 2008.

Gunmen on motorcyles have shot dead two policemen and a former intelligence official in a northwestern Pakistani province bearing the brunt of a decade-long war against terrorism, police said Wednesday.

Toy guns have been banned in the cities of Peshawar and Kohat in Pakistan's restive Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province to discourage the growing trend of arms and violence among the children.

Afghanistan ended 2014 with a mixture of violence and hope today, as a Taliban attack was thwarted, a policeman gunned down his comrades and one of the country's leaders said he had convinced hundreds of insurgents to lay down their arms and support peace efforts.

Heavily armed militants stormed a district police chief's office at Dera Ismail Khan in northwest Pakistan today, triggering a gun battle with security forces, officials said. About five militants, who were wearing police uniforms, were involved in the attack on the police office, officials were quoted as saying by TV news channels.
