Pakistani police are hunting gunmen who attacked a convoy carrying Sri Lanka's cricket team in the city of Lahore.
The masked men opened fire, killing six policemen escorting the Sri Lankans and a driver. Seven players and an assistant coach were wounded.
There is no word on the identities or motives of the gunmen, who escaped. No arrests have been made so far.
However officials said the incident bore similarities to deadly attacks in Mumbai in India last November.
The Mumbai bombings were blamed on Pakistan-based Islamic militants.
Officials said about 12 gunmen were involved in Tuesday's attack on the Liberty Square roundabout in the heart of Lahore.
