A rocket and anti-aircraft guns were fired from a Rawalpindi house close to the runaway of the military
airbase used by Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf while his plane was in air.
It seems to be a possible retaliation by hardliners to the crackdown on the radical Lal Masjid.
According to TV reports police have cordoned off the house at the Asghar Mall Road in Rawalpindi where two anti aircraft guns were found fitted on the roof.
Govt denies
The government has denied that the rocket or the aircraft guns were fired at Musharraf's plane.
The house was rented by a couple only on Thursday.
The occupants of the house, owned by local resident Muhammad Asfar, reportedly escaped after firing the shots.
Musharraf was on his way to Turbat in Balochistan to oversee relief operations in rain-hit areas.
Police recovered 150 rounds more from the roof top of the house.
Musharraf lives in a high-guarded Army cantonment residence in the garrison city.
