City mourns dead at police academy

Pakistan's city of Quetta is in shutdown following a militant rampage at a police academy this week and funerals are under way as families bury some of the 61 people killed in the attack. The brazen assault, in which police cadets jumped from windows and rooftops, fleeing for their lives, and troops battled the attackers for four hours, was one of the deadliest attacks on Pakistan's security forces in recent years. The academy houses about 700 cadets, nearly all in their early 20s. Local Quetta hospitals were treating 123 wounded from the attack.
