Kabul: A security checkpost outside Pakistan's Karachi airport was attacked by gunmen on Tuesday, an official spokesman told AFP, a day after an all-night siege by the Taliban left 37 dead.
"Gunmen are exchanging fire with Airport Security Force (ASF) personnel at a checkpost guarding the airport," an ASF spokesman said.
TV footage showed paramilitary vehicles and ambulances racing to the scene of the attack.
The checkpost is located at the entrance of an ASF camp some 500 metres (yards) away from the main airport premises.
