A team of gunmen brandishing assault rifles and grenades tried to break into Pakistan's army headquarters on Saturday, sparking a raging gunbattle with troops in the garrison city of Rawalpindi, police said.
In the ensuing encounter, four terrorists have been killed near the gate of Pakistan Army's General Headquarters, said chief military spokesman Maj Gen Athar Abbas
Maj Gen Abbas was also quoted as saying that the “situation is under control”.
The brazen attack was the third major militant assault in a week and came as the government said it was planning an imminent offensive against Islamist militants in their strongholds in the rugged mountains along the border with Afghanistan.
The gunmen drove up to the army compound in the garrison city of Rawalpindi shortly before noon and tried to force their way inside before being stopped by soldiers, said Mohammed Jamil, a police official.
