Islamabad, Feb 7 (PTI) In a pre-dawn attack, militants today blew up a security post in Pakistan's Punjab province, killing seven policemen and injuring four others.Witnesses said a group of militants first opened fire at the police post at Qudratabad in Mianwali district and then blew it up. The post collapsed after the powerful explosion.
