Gunmen fired on a US military plane today as it came in to land at a Pakistan airfield used as a US logistics base for the war in Afghanistan and the site of previous Islamic militant protests against Americans, a police spokesman said.
The spokesman told reporters no shots hit the aircraft and there was no damage or casualties.
Eight people have been arrested, police spokesman Mr Iqbal Ahmad said.
The shots, thought to be from an anti-aircaft gun, were fired at about 7:45 p.m. (2:45 Irish time).

Mr Ahmad said security had been stepped up around the base at Jacobabad, about 430 km (270 miles) north of Karachi.
