Sources say four policemen might have been killed, after the attackers fired several shots at them.

“The attackers came to the spot which is not far from a security check point and waited for the police to arrive, and as soon as the vehicle conveying the officers to their various check points came to the place, they opened fire and killed about four of them,” a witness said.

The assailants reportedly carted away rifles belonging to their victims.
