The Sri Lankan cricket team attack occurred on March 3, 2009, when a bus carrying Sri Lankan cricketers, part of a larger convoy, was fired upon by 12 gunmen, near the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, Pakistan. The cricketers were on their way to play the third day of the second Test against the Pakistani cricket team. Six members of the Sri Lanka national cricket team were injured. Six Pakistani policemen and two civilians were killed. These were the first attacks on a national sports team since the Munich massacre of Israeli athletes by Palestinian militants in 1972. In September 2009, Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapakse passed on the information to the Pakistani Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gillani that the attack has been carried out by LTTE. A fresh enquiry has been initiated following this claim.
