PESHAWAR - (Reuters) - Pakistani police said on Tuesday that five of its personnel were killed when their vehicle was ambushed in a bomb attack and shooting in the country's northwest. Regional police added that the vehicle was first targeted with improvised explosive devices before attackers opened fire, resulting in the deaths of four police officers and the driver. The attack, which occurred in the Karak area of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, an area relatively unaffected by militant attacks, comes as Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif condemned the attack and said, "The police have always been on the front lines in the war on terror". No group has claimed responsibility for the attack.
