Officials in Pakistan say militants wearing police uniforms have attacked the office of a senior government official in the northwestern city of Peshawar, killing at least four people.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack Monday, but the Pakistani Taliban have carried out similar operations in the past.
Elsewhere in Pakistan Monday, Shi'ites in Quetta have refused to bury victims of a bloody bombing that killed at least 80 people and wounded more that 100 others. They have demanded that security forces protect them from the extremists behind the attack.
