Counter-Terrorism Department, police kill six terrorists in IBO

Lakki Marwat: A successful intelligence operation (IBO) was carried out by the Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) Bannu and District Police inside the boundaries of the Didiwala police station, which resulted in the exchange of fire that killed six members of the prohibited organization.

The terrorists were reportedly preparing to attack the Abbasia police station when teams of CTD and district police surrounded them after receiving verified information of their presence in the area.

The terrorists started firing at police teams as soon as they approached near but were killed in retaliation by the police and CTD.

Four out of the six killed terrorists were identified as Ziaullah alias Kochi s/o Dawood, Saftullah alias Droon s/o of Hayatullah, Mohibullah s/o Sharif, Kaleemullah alias Faqir s/o Amir Nawaz, while identification of other two terrorists was being ascertained.

The terrorists had been involved in several terrorist activities including attacks on police and security forces.

In November last year, the terrorists attacked a police mobile vehicle of Chowki Abbasia in which six policemen embraced martyrdom.
