Two unidentified gunmen attacked the US consulate in Kolkata and shot dead four police guards, officers said Tuesday.
Twelve others including consulate staff were injured in the incident which occurred at 6:30 am (0100 GMT), a police spokesman said.

Two men on a motorcycle armed with sophisticated weapons reached the consulate complex and fired indiscriminately, killing the guards, the spokesman added.

Prashanto Basu, the head of the US Information Centre in Calcutta confirmed the incident and said: "We have yet to get the details."

The injured had been taken to hospital and were undergoing treatment, the police spokesman said.
