Gunmen tried to storm Pakistan’s stock exchange in the city of Karachi on Monday morning, killing at least four security officers, officials said. Officials reported that four gunmen drove up to the gate in front of the exchange, and that two managed to enter the parking area before all four were killed in a firefight with security forces. Officials and traders were reported to have taken shelter inside the exchange during the shooting, which lasted for almost an hour, officials said. In social media postings identified as belonging to the Baluchistan Liberation Army, the separatist group claimed responsibility for the attack.
