Reports from the scene indicated police in Lahore surrounded the hospital after gunfire broke out Monday. There was no word on how many hostages were being held. More than 90 people were killed in last Friday's attack against members of the Ahmadi sect, who consider themselves Muslims but have been banned by the Pakistani government from identifying themselves as followers of Islam. Earlier Monday, police said a man stabbed an Ahmadi man to death and wounded his son in the town of Narowal, roughly 80 kilometers northeast of Lahore. In other violence Monday, officials say security forces killed at least 30 militants in northwestern Orakzai tribal region and bombed several militant hideouts. The military says several hundred Taliban fighters have been killed in Orakzai since an offensive began there in March. The death toll could not be independently confirmed because access to the remote area is limited. Some information for this report was provided by AP, AFP and Reuters. .
