LAKKI MARWAT: Two terrorists were killed in an intelligence-based operation (IBO) in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Lakki Marwat district, police said.

Qudratullah Khan, the spokesperson for the district police officer in Lakki Marwat, said in a statement that the operation was jointly conducted by police and Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) personnel after receiving “credible information about the presence of Fitna-al-Khawarij terrorists in the mountainous area within the limits of the Lakki City police station”.

The state uses the term Fitna-al-Khawarij to refer to the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and its affiliates.

Khan said, “A fierce gunfight erupted when the law enforcers surrounded the terrorists’ hideout,” adding that two terrorists were killed during the exchange of fire.

He said one of the slain terrorists was identified as Mubashir, who was wanted by the CTD in various terrorism-related cases, including bomb blasts. The second individual was yet to be identified.

KP’s Inspector General of Police Zulfiqar Hameed appreciated the Lakki Marwat police and CTD personnel for conducting a “successful and result-oriented” operation. He added that the police were “fully determined to completely root out the scourge of terrorism”.

PESHAWAR: Protective nets have been installed at sensitive police stations and checkposts across Peshawar and other areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in response to growing threat of drone attacks by terrorists.

Officials said on Monday that such security measures helped thwart two drone attacks targeting Matani police station.

In recent months, terrorists have attempted to target police stations and checkposts in Peshawar and other districts using quadcopters and drones.

The officials said a drone attack on a house in Hassankhel killed a woman and injured several other people.
