In Lakki Marwat, police claimed to have gunned down an alleged militant commander involved in the killing of an army cadet last year.<\/p>\n
A police official said an intelligence-based operation (IBO) was conducted in the rural area of Mir Alam Manjiwala along the Kurram River following reports about the presence of militants there.<\/p>\n
A special police team dispatched to the area by DPO Muhammad Jawad Ishaq surrounded the terrorists, resulting in intense gunfire between militants and the cops, which continued for half an hour.<\/p>\n
According to the official, police were already on high alert in the district due to the ongoing polio vaccination drive.<\/p>\n
The alleged militant leader was identified as Rehanullah alias Muntazir Aashna, a resident of the Marmandi Azeem area.<\/p>\n
The cops seized an AK-47 assault rifle, magazines and hand grenades from him, according to the police official.<\/p>\n
The deceased militant was allegedly involved in attacks on law enforcement personnel, extortion, kidnapping and other acts of terrorism.<\/p>\n
He, along with his associates, was involved in an attack on a local mosque on October 25, 2024, in which the 19-year-old cadet, Arifullah, was martyred while fighting the assailants.<\/p>\n
According to some reports, a clash between terrorists and local villagers also took place in the Mir Alam Manjiwala area before the police arrived at the scene.<\/p>\n
Two villagers, identified as Zarwali Khan, 55, and his son Taimur Khan, 30, were injured in the clash.<\/p>\n
A Rescue 1122 official said a medical team along with an ambulance was sent to the area after the control room received information about the incident.<\/p>\n
The injured men were shifted to the Tehsil Headquarters Hospital in Serai Naurang town.<\/p>\n
The terrorists had planned to kidnap Taimur, an Air Force employee, sources said, adding that the villagers foiled the kidnapping before police reached the area and surrounded the terrorists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
