DERA ISMAIL KHAN: An alleged suicide bomber was killed during an information-based operation on the Dera Ismail Khan-Tank Road, a police source said here on Wednesday.
The source said that while foiling the terror attack, the police and security forces conducted a search operation following intelligence reports about the presence of an alleged suicide bomber.
