Police official killed in Peshawar

A senior police department official was today gunned down by unknown assailants in an apparent target killing in Pakistan's restive Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, police said.
Ibad Khan, a clerk in the department, was shot dead when he was on his way back home after duty hours in the Khazana area of Peshawar district.
The attackers fled from the scene after the incident.
Target killing of policemen is on rise in the province.
On October 24, an officer was killed by two gunmen on a motorcycle in the province.
