ISLAMABAD, Aug.12 (Xinhua) -- At least three policemen were killed and several others injured Friday morning when they were attacked by two unknown gunmen on their way back escorting prisoners for medical check in Peshawar, northwest Pakistan, reported local Urdu TV channel Duniya.
According to the local media reports, the incident took place at about 11:00 a.m. local time Friday near a hospital at the University Road of the city when two unidentified gunmen opened fire at a group of police on their way back escorting two or three prisoners from medical check.
Some local media reports said two policemen were killed and three others injured in the incident.
The gunmen fled the scene with the prisoners following the attack, said police sources, adding that the prisoners were charged with murder and other serious crimes.
Friday's incident is the third of its kind targeting at police in the city over the past two days. On Thursday morning, two bomb attacks targeting at the police were reported in the city, during which at least eight people including five police men were killed and 37 others injured, most of whom were policemen as well.
Earlier on Friday, Pakistan Taliban (TTP) has claimed the responsibility for the twin bomb attacks in Peshawar, according to local media reports.
