EU provided KPK 2 robots to ensure the use of IEDs.
another sad incident terrorists are using IEDs in blasts.
@Mirza: Police are hated by the oppressed segments of society for their corruption and cruelty. The liberal ruling elite have done nothing to reform the police since colonial days. The results are clear.
The sad truth is that these terrorists regularly target our security forces in their bid to spread fear and chaos. We have lost thousands of security officials to their acts of terror on both sides of the border. But they continue to fail at breaking our will, and our nations refuse to bow down to their acts of terror. It’s times like these when we should remind ourselves that the threat posed by these terrorists is well and alive, and conspiracy theories do us no good. It is also important that we don’t overlook the sacrifices of these brave security officials by allowing our differences to prevail. We have suffered enough at the hands of these terrorists, and it’s time we put our differences aside for the sake of achieving our common goals.
Our condolences go to the families and friends of those killed and injured in this attack. We hope justice is served, and the perpetrators are caught and punished as soon as possible.
It is sad to see so many people are killed and terrorized. It raises a question, why are only policemen targeted and not the other agencies? Do the terrorists hate police more than any other agency and why?
My beautiful country is being destroyed :(
