2 Killed in Attack on Aid Group’s Office
Masked assailants attacked the office of an aid group in a rugged Pakistani town, killing two people and setting five vehicles on fire at the compound before fleeing, police said.
The shooting at the Aga Khan Foundation office occurred late Saturday in Chitral, an isolated town about 150 miles northwest of the capital, Islamabad, a Chitral police official said.
Four men opened fire on the office with assault rifles, killing two workers -- a security guard and a driver, both local residents. No one claimed responsibility. The foundation, run by the spiritual head of Ismaili Muslims in Pakistan, operates health clinics in Chitral.
