Three terrorists wearing suicide vests broke into the multi-story KPO headquarters last month. Police commandos and paramilitary forces participated in the hours-long operation.
Four people, including two police officers and a Sindh Rangers sub-inspector, chose martyrdom in the tense operation that lasted more than four hours and resulted in the deaths of all three terrorists.
Following a fatal suicide assault at a mosque in Peshawar Civil Lines that left at least 85 people dead, the terror attack injured at least 17 other people, including police and Rangers members.
Participating in the tense operation were DIG East Muqadas Haider, DIG South Ifran Baloch, DIG Rapid Reaction Force (RRF) Nasir Aftab, Special Security Unit (SSU), and Sindh Rangers. The Pakistan Army has also offered support to the police.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
