Unidentified gunmen have attacked members of Sri Lanka's national cricket team in Lahore.
The team bus and its police escort were heading to a stadium in the city of Lahore when about a dozen attackers opened fire. At least five police officers were killed, while six Sri Lankan cricketers, including the team captain, sustained injuries.The head of the sport's world body now says Pakistan cannot host international cricket unless it dramatically improves security. That casts doubt over Pakistan's hosting role for the 2011 World Cup.
