Cricketers shot in 'terror attack' on Sri Lankan team

Seven people including five policemen were killed and six Sri Lankan cricketers were injured in a shooting attack in Lahore.

Sri Lankan tour has been called off after the terrible incident. According to sources, unknown attackers opened fire on Sri Lankan cricket team bus near Liberty Market.

Intense trade of fire occurred between police and unknown attackers. CCPO Lahore Habibur Rehman said there were 12 attackers carrying rocket launchers; hand grenade, Kalashnikovs and Mousers who reportedly reached the site in rickshaws. Seven people including five cops were killed in the shooting.

Former cricket players have expressed their sadness over the incident and termed it a severe blow to Pakistan cricket. Despite several security warnings, it was Sri Lankan team who visited Pakistan. Now it seems that game of cricket will not add to our grounds for a longer period of time.

Dear readers, your comments are welcome – what implications could this incident have on Pakistan cricket? who could be behind this cowardly act?
