RAWALPINDI: Five Khwarij (terrorists), including two suicide bombers, were killed as security forces foiled their attempt to enter a post in Balochistan’s Qila Abdullah district. However, two soldiers were martyred during the exchange of fire with the terrorists.
On the night of Jan 27-28, terrorists attempted to attack a security forces’ post in Qila Abdullah’s general area Gulistan. The attempt to enter the post was effectively thwarted by troops, which forced the Khwarij to ram an explosive laden vehicle into the perimeter wall of the post.
