Earlier today, a convoy carrying the Sri Lankan cricket team through Pakistan was attacked by a dozen gunmen with automatic weapons. All the players appear to have survived, but six policemen and two bystanders were killed. Seven players and two others were wounded but seem to be okay. An umpire, meanwhile, is in critical condition, having been shot in the back. No attackers were killed or captured.
