Five terrorists were killed during separate intelligence-based operations (IBOs) across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Bannu district, who were involved in attacks on security forces and civilians, a police officer said on Saturday.
A Regional Police Officer (RPO) told the media that IBOs are continuing in different areas following the Fateh Khel police checkpoint attacks.
A vehicle-borne improvised explosive device (IED) attack carried out by terrorists belonging to Fitna al-Khawarij targeted a police check post in Bannu district, martyring 15 policemen and injuring four others, including a civilian, last week.
In the IBOs, law enforcement agencies neutralised five terrorists in Bannu, said RPO, adding that the killed terrorists were involved in attacks targeting security forces, the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD), and civilians.
