Explosions in Pakistan army HQ amid hostage crisis

RAWALPINDI, Pakistan — Two loud explosions and gunshots have been heard from inside Pakistan’s army headquarters, where Islamist militants are holding soldiers hostage.

An Associated Press Television News cameraman close to the complex says the firing took place shortly before dawn on Sunday.

The militants slipped into the complex after they and others attacked it on Saturday, sparking a gunbattle that killed four assailants and six soldiers.
