| [Dawn] The police repulsed an attack by holy warriors on the Lakki Marwat city cop shoppe here on Friday night. An official said on Saturday that a group of holy warriors attacked the city cop shoppe with sophisticated weapons. He, however, said the assailants could not breach the cop shoppe as the coppers deployed there were fully alert and responded effectively. The official said the cop shoppe building was located at a stone’s throw from the River Gambila and the holy warriors might have come from the riverside to attack it. "After police repulsed the attack, the holy warriors escaped the scene," he added The exchange of fire between the police and holy warriors at midnight also panicked the local residents. A resident, who was sleeping in the courtyard of his house, said he woke up to the sound of gunfire at midnight. It was the second attack on the city cop shoppe in the last over eight months. Several cop shoppes have come under attack in the district during the last several months. |
