• Upper Dir attack claims lives of three cops, constable martyred in attack on police post
• Kurram SHO slain during operation; FC man martyred in South Waziristan
PESHAWAR: Six police personnel were martyred and eight others injured as militants targeted police at five different locations, including the outskirts of the provincial capital.
The deadliest assault occurred in Upper Dir, which claimed the lives of three police personnel, while other attacks occurred in Lower Dir and Shangla districts.
Late on Wednesday night, a police official deputed at Hassan Khel Police Station informed senior officers of an ongoing attack.
Superintendent of Police for Sadar Division Raza Muhammad said the police station is surrounded by dense natural forest, adding that the exchange of fire continued for almost three hours, and the police responded bravely.
Hassan Khel Police Station, located around 40 kilometres south of Peshawar, is situated on the border between districts Peshawar and Kohat.
This area has been a hotspot for intelligence-based operations aimed at dismantling militant groups. Recent attacks in the area have claimed the lives of several law enforcement officers.
While the attack on Hassan Khel was underway, police at the Adezai Post, located five kilometres north, successfully repelled a similar attack. “The exchange of fire lasted 10 minutes, but the militants had to retreat due to the intense response from the Adezai police,” said SP Raza.
Further attacks were thwarted the same night.
Militants opened fire on a police post at Sakhi Pull in the Nasir Bagh area, but the attack was successfully repelled.
In Kurram, Qaisar Hussain, the Station House Officer of Roza Police Station, was martyred in an exchange of gunfire during an intelligence-based operation targeting Abid Hussain alias Tehran Turi, a notorious militant leader.
Turi, a trained fighter who allegedly fled to Syria after the 2007 sectarian clashes in Kurram, played a leading role in the Bagan incident in November last year.

Dir attacks
Separately, four policemen were martyred and seven others injured when militants carried out coordinated attacks on a Quick Response Force (QRF) van in Upper Dir and multiple police posts in Lower Dir late on Wednesday night, officials and police sources said.
They said that the gunmen, in a midnight attack, ambushed a QRF van in Upper Dir’s Panakot area, which left three police officials, including Akbar Hussain, Nasr Minullah and driver Ismail martyred on the spot.
Six others, including policemen and Frontier Constabulary personnel identified as Jalal, Rahimullah, Niaz, Abdul Ghaffar, Rahim and Riasat Khan, sustained injuries and were shifted to the hospital.
Police said the attackers targeted the vehicle with automatic weapons, but the elite force personnel travelling in a separate vehicle remained unharmed. All units in the area were placed on high alert following the assault.
In Lower Dir’s Maidan subdivision, militants attacked three police posts in Lajbok, Shadas, and Kolal Dherai, in separate incidents during the night.
One constable was martyred in the Lajbok attack, which occurred around midnight. Another constable sustained minor injuries in the assault on Shadas post at about 1:15am. The third attack, on Kolal Dherai post around 2:30am, was repulsed without casualties.

Separately, a Frontier Corps official was martyred when a patrolling party of the paramilitary force came under attack in Lower South Waziristan. Sources said that the security forces cordoned off the area and launched a search operation.

We need to teach afghanistan and india a lasting lesson without restraints.
If thats' not happening........then this will continue. We have to DESTROY their sanctuaries where they run off to. When that shit is gone, guess what, they will be forced to come out and either surrender, or die in the ops. Destroy their support system first. The results will come and be automatically handled by the locals.
And the foreign intelligence thing.......i keep saying Pakistan must affectively LIMIT the foreigners in the Western Embassies here........why the **** do we need any of them here if they don't want to give visas. What are the embassy personnel doing?? Why do the Americans and British have big embassies here? Konsa kaam hai inka yahan pe? we are a small country, why the **** are they here in big fortresses and in huge numbers ??
their embassies and staff are the spies. kick them out and stop handing out visas like candy.......yahan GORAY ka kya kaam hai bhai ?? KICK THEM OUT ASAP
CIA, MI6, Mossad ke agents inki embasssies mei baithay hain bhai.......inko nikalo gay to sakoon aiga......why the **** are they all sitting in islamabad, lahore and karachi ?? no wonder we have so many problems due to unrest these spy agencies are creating here. Time to kick them all out.
e-visas ka daur hai, they can issue visas online from dubai.
Yahan se sabko nikalo, aur ind/afg ko sabaq sikhao.........restraint restraint kerte rahogay to yehi chalta rahayga

That region has itself to blame as equally as the past administrations that nurtured those militant groups and never disbanded them or brought them back to civilized society. If you raise snakes, eventually, they will come back and bite, as that's their nature.
Lastly, this is the result of fighting others' wars; we should've learned better from our neighbors to the east, which, till now, is staying away, while Pakistanis, as usual, try to egg it on.

Not my claim, police claim this, I just presented it here.
Can't comment on this as I don't know any thing about this.
Lakki Marwat police main demand was, 1- remove Army presence from the district, 2- Army shouldn't interfere in our work (they was not asking not to be used against TTP but they wanted to fight them without army meddling) 2- provide better equipment (NVGs etc).
Now army didn't left Lakki, Police didn't got any new equipment but yes now TTP doesn't attack police that much.

Was this the same police infiltrated by the Taliban and helped bomb their own masjids?
I don't trust anything coming from KP police, even just recently several insiders were caught working for the Taliban and they run from fighting

lol, If Army pulled out from any of the Southern Districts, we'd have TTP overrun it in a day. That's how bad situation is. Lakki Marwat Police can't even deal with drug smugglers in the area, and you're talking about them taking on TTP?

1- Again, these are not my claims, Lakki Marwat police were demanding these.
2- I believe that Army is in Lakki Marwat not for peace or to fight against TTP but...
