9 Dead After Attack on Pakistani Airport

Militants in Pakistan attacked the airport in Peshawar, Saturday night.

They began the attack, on Bacha Khan International Airport, with a volley of RPGs and then engaged in a fire fight with security forces.

By the end of the several hour gun battle, nine people were dead and at least forty-five were wounded.

Four of the dead were civilians, while five were militants.

No damage was done to the airport itself, or any of the airplanes.

Officials say that most of the RPGs struck homes, outside of the airport's walls.
