LAHORE Three people were injured in firing inside the parking lot of Allama Iqbal International Airport in Lahore on Wednesday evening. One of them is reportedly in a critical condition, DawnNews reported.

 

According to reports, those involved in the firing incident - which included two police officials and a civilian - came in two cars and had passed through all the security checks before the incident occurred.

 

The Airport Security Forces suspect that the incident was a case of planned target-killing. The target was Tipu Truckan Wala who had arrived in Lahore from Dubai on a PIA flight earlier this evening, airport officials said.
