Pak: Cop among 5 killed as authorities and Islamists clash
Islamabad, Oct 13: At least five people, including a police officer, were killed and dozens of officers injured when thousands of members of a radical Islamist group clashed with security personnel on Monday in Pakistan’s Punjab province, police said. Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) had launched its protest from Lahore on Friday with the announcement to march up to the US embassy in Islamabad and give a sit-in in support of the people of Gaza. Ironically, the group decided to protest for Gaza when the war had ended and a truce had been agreed, and the people of Gaza were celebrating peace. The protesters succeeded in reaching Murdike, about 40 km from Lahore on the Grand Trunk Road, where the police stopped them while their leaders held talks with the authorities. All efforts to convince the protestors ended in a fiasco, and police launched an operation to clear the road and disperse the rioters.According to police, the operation lasted for about five hours and ended early Monday.
