LAHORE: Atleast twelve people have been killed and 10 injured as suspected militants launched a brazen attack on Jinnah Hospital in Lahore late Monday night.
Initial report suggests that five to seven militants were involved in the attack. One of the militants was injured during the initial police firing.
One security guard has been shot dead and the militants said to have entered the emergency ward of the hospital and taken patients hostage.
Terrorists entered hospital premises in camouflage of police uniform. A private TV channel reported that five of the dead are police officers.
The militant captured from Friday’s attack on the Ahmadi community’s place of worship was admitted to the intense care ward of the Jinnah hospital.
Analysts suggest that this was the prime motive behind the attack on the hospital.
