BAJAUR: Security forces have thwarted a suicide attack carried out by Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), alias Fitna al-Khawarij, in North Waziristan, the security sources said on Friday.
A suicide bomber rammed an explosive-laden vehicle into the forces’ camp, followed by an attempt to enter the compound by three terrorists.
The three terrorists attempting to enter the camp were gunned down by the forces via timely and courageous action, bringing the total number of killed terrorists to four.
The security forces suffered no loss in the foiled attack.
Separately, the security forces also confiscated a vehicle laden with hundreds of kilograms of explosives in Bajaur.
The vehicle, bound to be detonated among the civilian population, was destroyed via a controlled explosion, which did not result in any loss of life or property.
“[Such] explosives are brought from Afghanistan to Pakistan with smuggled goods,” the sources added.
