Two attackers shot and killed the guard at the gate, and then entered the center by scaling the main gate. The two other attackers followed, throwing grenades on their way. One went to the kitchen, another to the patients' barracks, and a third to the barber's salon. One was spotted and gunned down on the lawn. Nine policemen were killed and fifty were injured in the attack, which lasted until about 11:50 am. .<sup id="cite_ref-Terrorists_descend_on_Lahore;_five_civilians,_12_policemen_killed_13-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Terrorists_descend_on_Lahore;_five_civilians,_12_policemen_killed-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Responsibility">Responsibility</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=October_2009_Lahore_attacks&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Responsibility"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Many such attacks over the past year have been carried out by <a href="/wiki/Taliban" title="Taliban">Taliban</a> or Punjabi militant groups, or, as in the <a href="/wiki/2009_Pakistan_Army_General_Headquarters_attack" class="mw-redirect" title="2009 Pakistan Army General Headquarters attack">army headquarters attack on 10 October 2009</a>, a combination of both.<sup id="cite_ref-guardian_4-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-guardian-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> According to <a href="/wiki/GEO_News" class="mw-redirect" title="GEO News">GEO News</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Tehrik-e-Taliban_Pakistan" class="mw-redirect" title="Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan">Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan</a> claimed responsibility for the attack.<sup id="cite_ref-wsj20091015_14-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-wsj20091015-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Investigations">Investigations</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=October_2009_Lahore_attacks&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Investigations"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>At least 9 people having links with group behind the attack have been apprehend.
