U.S. Consulate in Pakistan Attacked by Militants, at least 7 Dead

The U.S. consulate in Peshawar, Pakistan came under attack from Taliban militants, leaving at least seven people dead and several more injured.

According to reports there were a number of explosions near the consulate that caused buildings to collapse and an assault was then launched on the American building. The militants engaged in gunfire with security personnel that left four of the attackers dead and three security officers.

There were no reported U.S. casualties in the attack and it is not known if the consulate, situated in a heavily fortified area of the northwest town, suffered any damages.

The Taliban wasted little time in claiming responsibility for the attack as spokesman Azam Tariq told Reuters news agency, “Americans are our enemies. We carried out the attack on their consulate in Peshawar. We plan more such attacks.”
