Two Pakistani intelligence agents involved in tracking al-Qaeda suspects have been shot dead in the southern port city of Karachi, police say.

Inspector Mohammad Ibrahim and his deputy, Fazlur Rahman, were employees of Pakistan's main civilian spy agency.

The men were attacked late on Thursday at a car showroom in a commercial area.

Pakistan's main cities are routinely the scene of attacks by Islamist militants opposed to Islamabad's support for the US-led "war on terror".

The teeming city of Karachi also frequently witnesses clashes between the supporters of rival sectarian and political groups.
