Militants in Pakistan have killed at least 32 people in coordinated attacks against law enforcement agencies in Lahore and in the troubled northwest.

Officials in Lahore said groups of gunmen stormed the regional office of the Federal Investigation Agency, or FIA, as well as two police training centers Thursday morning.

In the northwest, a car bomb devastated a police station in Kohat. Hours later, a bomb hit a residential area of Peshawar.

Officials are still trying to determine the extent of the casualties, but many of the dead appear to be police officers. Media reports say as many as 25 militants may have participated in the attacks.

The Pakistani Taliban has carried out four high-profile terrorist attacks in the past 11 days, killing more than 100 people. Pakistan＇s interior minister Rehman Malik Thursday called the escalation of violence a "guerrilla war."

Taliban leaders pledged to hit government targets ahead of an expected army offensive against the militants based in South Waziristan -- where officials say most terrorist attacks in Pakistan are planned.

During Thursday＇s siege in Lahore, witnesses said gunmen wearing suicide vests and throwing grenades fought pitched battles with security forces at a police training center. Television footage showed military helicopters hovering nearby and commandoes taking cover. Police claim they now have control of all of the attacked facilities.

Thursday＇s attacks came hours after Pakistani intelligence officials said that a suspected missile strike from a U.S. drone unmanned aircraft killed at least four militants in the North Waziristan tribal region bordering Afghanistan.
