"The operation is over. Four terrorists were killed and three arrested," Interior Ministry Secretary Kamal Shah told Reuters. He said 89 policemen were wounded. Interior Ministry chief Rehman Malik said the militants were believed to be fighters loyal to Pakistani Taliban leader Baitullah Mehsud who had come from the South Waziristan tribal region. "The entire planning was done there," Malik told a news conference in Lahore. He said one of the men captured was an Afghan who arrived in eastern city 15 days earlier and had rented a house there. "Some of his accomplices have been identified, while others are in the process of being identified," Malik said. Punjab police chief Khawaja Khalid Farooq and a military spokesman said eight recruits were killed. although there had been reports the toll would be higher because there were 900 cadets in the academy at the time. Three of the militants blew themselves up during the final assault and commandos rescued 10 police officers held hostage inside the main building. Malik said the wounded taken to hospital were being screened to ensure no militants were hiding among them. Television news channels showed jubilant police shouting praise to Allah, making "V" for victory signs with their fingers, and firing in the air in celebration minutes after the last firefight at the end of the eight-hour siege. The latest attack will heighten fears about growing insecurity in nuclear-armed Pakistan. The assault took place less than a month after gunmen attacked the Sri Lankan cricket team in Lahore, killing six police guards and a bus driver. Those gunmen escaped. Islamist militants have launched a campaign of violence to destabilize the Muslim country of 170 million people U.S. President Barack Obama made support for President Asif Ali Zardari a centerpiece of a review of policy toward Afghanistan and Pakistan that was announced on Friday. The principle objective of Obama's strategy is the annihilation of al Qaeda in the two countries. FINAL ASSAULT Continued... View article on single page Share: Del.icio.us Digg Mixx Yahoo!
