Witnesses at the scene of Thursday's attack on the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) building in Pakistan's second city of Lahore, in which at least seven people died, say the gunmen were calm and focused.
They armed themselves in a lane near the offices and then walked out firing at the FIA compound.
"I was walking down the road to have breakfast with my friend," said Shaukat Ali. "All of a sudden, a neighbour yelled: 'Run! An attack is taking place!'
"I saw a man of mixed complexion with a light beard firing as he ran. He even fired on the mosque as he ran past."
Mr Ali said the man then ran into the FIA building. Shortly afterwards, the sound of firing and explosions filled the air.
"I saw two men I knew were not residents sitting in my street," said Mohammad Tufail.
"They had two big bags with them. I asked them if they were smoking hashish, and they replied affirmatively. I told them not to do that, and then went into my home.
"A little while later I heard the sound of firing outside. When I came out, I saw one of the men with the bags firing at the FIA building from the street corner."
