Islamabad: Four policemen, including an officer, were killed in an attack on a police vehicle in Pakistan’s northwest Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, an official said on Wednesday.

He said the miscreants fled the scene after carrying out the attack, adding that a search operation in the area had been launched to arrest them.
