MULTAN (Reuters) - Militants detonated four bombs in a heavily guarded Pakistani intelligence compound in the town of Sukkur on Wednesday and then fought security services, killing seven people and wounding at least 40, police officials said.
It was unclear who had carried out the attack, but previous similar operations have always been claimed by the Islamist Taliban, who appear to be throwing down the gauntlet to the new government of Nawaz Sharif.
