Security forces gunned down five terrorists belonging to the India-backed “Fitna al-Khwarij” during an intelligence-based operation (IBO) in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Bannu district, while two soldiers, including a lieutenant colonel, embraced martyrdom after their convoy was targeted by militants, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said on Saturday. The military’s media wing stated that the operation was conducted following reports of the presence of terrorists, including a suicide bomber. A vehicle-borne suicide bomber was intercepted by the leading group, foiling his plan to target innocent civilians or law enforcement personnel in Bannu City and averting a major catastrophe, the military said. During the operation, the terrorists were located, and after an intense exchange of fire, five militants were killed by the security forces. In a desperate act, the terrorists rammed an explosive-laden vehicle into one of the vehicles of the leading group.
