HeadlineAug 09, 2013

In news from Pakistan, the U.S. State Department has ordered most personnel to leave the consulate in Lahore because of a threat to the mission. Meanwhile, gunmen in the Pakistani city of Quetta fired on the vehicle of a politician driving past worshipers leaving a mosque, killing nine people and wounding 27. The attack came one day after a suicide bomb attack in the same city killed 30 people at a policeman’s funeral.
