Cricket row leaves seven dead in Pak

Peshawar, November 24

At least seven persons were killed in exchange of fire between two groups following a dispute over a cricket match among children in Pakistan’s restive Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, authorities said on Saturday.

The incident happened at a police post in Abbottabad district where the rival sides had gone to register a case against one another after their children had a quarrel while playing a cricket match, DSP Ijaz ljaz Khan said.

The police post turned into a virtual battlefield as the armed rivals traded heavy fire on coming face to face. The exchange of fire left seven dead from both sides. — PTI
