www.youtube.com www.youtube.com www.youtube.com The driver of the bus carrying the Sri Lankan cricket team that was attacked in the Pakistani city of Lahore has given a dramatic account of the assault. Khalil Ahmed said that he and the players had a "lucky escape" when a rocket and a grenade were fired at his vehicle but caused minimal damage. Mr Ahmed said that once he realised his coach was under attack, he drove at top speed to escape. He said it was only by "the grace of God" that he and the players survived.

Mr Ahmed has been hailed a hero by the media "As we approached the city's Liberty Roundabout, I slowed down. Just then what seemed to be a rocket was fired at my coach, but it missed and I think flew over the top of the vehicle. "Almost immediately afterwards a person ran in front of the bus and threw a grenade in our direction. But it rolled underneath the coach and did not seem to cause that much damage.

Thilan Samaraweera and assistant coach Paul Farbrace were admitted into hospital with gunshot injuries. Kumar Sangakkara, Chaminda Vaas, Ajantha Mendis & Tharanga Paranavithana sustained minor injuries and they were discharged from hospital after treatments. Agency reports say that five police officers were killed in shooting. Lahore Police chief Habib-ur-Rehman said and five people were killed in the attack by the dozen of unidentified gunmen, who fired AK 47s and rockets and hurled grenades as the team bus drove to the 60000-seater Gaddafi stadium in the eastern city. "The bus came under attack as we were driving to the stadium," Mahela Jayawardene, who was slightly wounded in a foot, was quoted as saying by Agency Media. "The gunmen targeted the wheels of the bus first and then the bus. "We all dived to the floor to take cover. About five players have been injured and also Paul Farbrace but most of the injuries appear to be minor at this stage and caused by debris." Cricket authorities have now decided to cancel the Pakistan - Sri Lanka second test.
