Hunt underway for Pakistan gunmen



Pakistani authorities have launched a massive manhunt across the garrison city of Rawalpindi for gunmen involved in a deadly attack on a mosque near the country's army headquarters. At least 37 people, including  17 children, were killed in the attack when several gunmen stormed the mosque, opening fire shortly after Friday prayers. Police and witnesses said seven or eight gunmen were armed with assault rifles and hand grenades when they entered the mosque. "They threw three grenades inside the mosque, one was thrown on the ladies' side, and two grenades were thrown inside the [men's section of the] mosque," one witness told  "I could only hear the shouting of the people."
