Gunmen attack luxury hotel in Pakistan

BBC World Service - Newshour, Gunmen attack luxury hotel in Pakistan

Three gunmen have stormed a luxury hotel in Pakistan, killing at least one person.

Three gunmen have stormed a five-star hotel in the Pakistani province of Balochistan, killing at least one person. The attack targeted the Pearl-Continental Hotel in the strategic port city of Gwadar, the centrepiece of a multi-billion-dollar Chinese project. We speak to a local journalist about the changes that this development has brought to the area.

Also on the programme: Four hostages have been freed in Burkina Faso in an operation which led to the deaths of two French soldiers. We hear about the deteriorating security problem across the region.
