Disguised gunmen murder five in hospital 'rescue'

Amanda Hodge, South Asia correspondent


AT least five people were killed and six injured yesterday, after gunmen dressed as Pakistani police officers shot their way into a Lahore hospital, where victims of last week's attack on two Ahmadi mosques were being treated.
The four men fired indiscriminately inside the Jinnah hospital just before midnight on Monday (5am AEST yesterday) in what authorities believe was an attempt to rescue or kill a suspect from Friday's mosque attacks, who was also receiving treatment.
About 95 people were killed and more than 100 injured in the co-ordinated strikes last week on mosques of the Islamic sect, considered blasphemous in Pakistan.
