Context

This data was extracted from the following paragraph of the newspaper clippings.

A Policeman was killed when at least two gunmen attacked an unarmed Police Picket at the Khilwat junction of the communally sensitive Old City area of Hyderabad in Andhra Pradesh on May 14, four days ahead of the third anniversary of the bomb blast at Mecca Masjid, reports The Hindu. Constable V. Ramesh and his colleague Sri Hari were under a tree when two youths drove up to them on a motorcycle. One of them whipped out a weapon and shot at the Policemen. Hyderabad Police Commissioner A.K. Khan said that Police suspected the involvement of Vikaruddin, a suspected operative of the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), who reportedly masterminded a similar attack earlier. Subsequently, forensic experts who sifted the area found two spent cartridges and a blood-stained Compact Discs (CD) believed to have been left behind by the assailants. The CD contained a statement by an unknown outfit, Tehrik-e-Galba Islami that the attack was in retaliation for the bomb explosions at Mecca Masjid in 2007. The statement is in the name of Mohammad Fasiuddin. Experts said the caliber of the bullets fired matched those used to kill another Policeman on December 8, 2008 at Falaknuma.
