LAHORE, Pakistan (AP) — An official says eight members of Sri Lanka's national cricket team have been wounded after gunmen opened fire on their vehicle in eastern Pakistan.

Pakistan Cricket Board security official Nadeem Iqbal says the team members were hurt Tuesday near the stadium where they were due to arrive to play.

Sri Lankan team manager Brendon Kruppu confirmed the incident and said the team's batsman, Kumar Sangakkara, was among the injured.

Security concerns have plagued Pakistan for years and some foreign sports teams have refused to play here.

This is definitely the doing of RAW. An attack of this magnitude and planning, it wasn't just carried out by some rag tag militant who prefer suicide bombings. Lets see how GOP handles this one in particular and if indeed India is involved then to what extent will GOP go apart from their sorry *** attitude.
This has further hurt Pakistan's image and moreover no team whatsoever will ever tour Pakistan again, meaning Goodbye to Pakistan sports.

This one has INDIAN RAW involvement written all over it! The attackers were typically in their teens and were also carrying grenades etc. They fired AK-47's in a very ''all-out'' fashion with the aim to create the deliberate scare and international incident. Too bad the INDIANS have chosen to involve the Sri Lankan sportsmen in this and now it high time that our Government should clearly point the finger where the blame lies......i.e INDIA!

ABSOLUTELY, UNEQUIVOCALLY, INDIAN RAW. But need not worry, it takes two to tango!

6 Sri Lankan players injured . 3 names given - Samaraweera, Mendis and Sangakkara. Great job done by the Lahore police who lost 4 of their own plus 1 traffic police.
Visuals show Mumbai style attackers - some in jeans , others in Salwars. Heavily armed with mortars, grenades and Kalashnikovs.
Taliban militants suspected at this stage !!:angry:
