Pakistani police say they have arrested eight people in connection with shots fired at a U.S. military plane Tuesday in southern Pakistan.
Unidentified gunmen fired on the C-130 transport as it approached the Shahbaz air base in the town of Jacobabad. The shots missed and there were no injures.
Reuters news quotes a police spokesman as saying the shots apparently came from an anti-aircraft gun.
Police arrested the eight suspects in a village about 30 kilometers from the base.
The U.S. military uses the Shahbaz airfield as a logistics base for the U.S.-led campaign in Afghanistan.
