Ambush by Pakistani Taliban kills three police officers in northern Pakistan

The Pakistani Taliban on Saturday claimed responsibility for a gun ambush that killed three police officers in northern Pakistan, the second attack claimed by the group just days after it announced an end to a ceasefire with the government.
Police carrying out a patrol in Nowshera, a district of northern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province which borders Afghanistan, came under fire on Saturday evening, a regional police deputy inspector, Mohammad Ali Gandapur, told Reuters.
He said three police officers were killed on the spot and the identity of the attackers was unknown.
The militant group Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) claimed responsibility for the attack in a statement.
