(2 Sep 2016) Gunmen wearing suicide vests stormed a Christian colony near the town of Peshawar on Friday, triggering a shoot-out in which four attackers were killed and one Christian died, police and the military said.
Three security officials and two civilian guards were wounded in the attack.
Army spokesman Lieutenant General Asim Saleem Bajwa said in a statement that the attack was quickly repulsed and that security forces were searching for any accomplices.
Local police official Shaukat Khan said four suicide bombers entered the Christian colony.
One of them went into a church, but no one was there at the time.
He said the attackers killed one Christian in the neighbourhood.
It was not immediately clear if any of the suicide bombers had detonated their explosives.
Ahsanullah Ahsan, a spokesman for Jamaat-ul-Ahrar, a breakaway Taliban faction, claimed responsibility for the attack.
