Kumar Sangakkara, a member of the Sri Lankan cricket team, who was injured during the attack against his team yesterday morning in Pakistan, arrives at Colombo airport in Sri Lanka March 4, 2009. Pakistani police hunted on Wednesday for the gunmen who mounted a bold attack on Sri Lanka's cricket team in Lahore and officials scrambled to figure out who was behind it. The attack killed eight people, six of them Pakistani police. Six members of the Sri Lankan team and a British coach were wounded in the daylight attack as their bus approached the cricket stadium.
