Gunmen opened fire on an army camp near Islamabad on Monday, killing seven security personnel and wounding five others, the military said.
  
The encampment was attacked from a bridge over the river Chenab, close to the industrial city of Wazirabad, less than 150 kilometres (100 miles) southeast of the capital.
  
"At least seven security personnel including a police official embraced shahadat (martyrdom) and five others were injured due to firing by unknown assailants near Wazirabad," the military said in a statement.

"The exact number of attackers is not known but they came by motorbike and sprayed bullets on the troops from the bridge," a senior security official told AFP on condition of anonymity.
 
"It is highly likely that the attackers belonged to a banned religious outfit, which is a hand in glove with Taliban." The official added: "Nobody has so far claimed responsibility of the attack but if we follow the pattern of the attack, it looks similar to assaults that these outfits have been carrying out in different cities."
