LAHORE: At least three Pakistani policemen were shot dead and 70 more wounded when supporters of a banned Islamist party opened fire at a rally on Wednesday , the country's interior minister said.
"They opened fire on police with Kalashnikovs ... three policemen were martyred," Sheikh Rasheed Ahmad told a press conference, adding that eight of those injured were in a critical condition.

"We tried our best for the success of the talks but the government is not serious about fulfilling its commitments," TLP spokesman Sajjad Saifi said.Rizvi was arrested in April when Pakistan's government outlawed the party in response to violent anti-France protests.
