              Two Gunmen Killed in Attack on Indian Air Force Base

   by VOA News

   Gunmen attacked an air force base early Saturday in India's Punjab
   state, near the border with Pakistan, police said.

   At least two of the attackers were killed at the Pathankot air force
   base during the shootout with soldiers, an Indian Defense Ministry
   spokesman said.

   ''He said gunfire was continuing. Few other details were immediately
   available.

   Indian officials said they were still trying to identify the attackers.

   Pathankot is on the highway that connects India's insurgency-wracked
   Jammu and Kashmir state with the rest of the country.

   The attack came just a week after India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi
   made an unannounced visit to Pakistan to meet Prime Minister Nawaz
   Sharif.

   Some information for this report came from AP.
