| 2013-10-07 |
| [Dawn] Outlawed organization Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain (TTP) is planning huge attacks within the next 24 hours in the picturesque provincial capital of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa ... formerly NWFP, still Terrorism Central... (KP). The attacks will be majorly aimed at law enforcement agencies. According to well-placed sources, the TTP has planned attacks on the Frontier Constabulary (FC) and police checkposts throughout the northwestern city of Beautiful Downtown Peshawar ...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (formerly known as the North-West Frontier Province), administrative and economic hub for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistan's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire. Security measures have been strengthened around the city, along with at important security check posts. According to security officials, reports have been received that a jacket wallah has entered Nowshera district. Security measures have thus gone on high alert, and security officers are now searching for the suspect. Earlier, an attack by forces of Evil on a security convoy took place in Bannu district, killing three soldiers and injuring eight others. The Ansarul Mujahideen bad boy group of Taliban has grabbed credit for the attack, stating that such attacks will continue until drone strikes are stopped. Peshawar has been the recipient of deadly blasts for the past two weeks, the most recent of which were the twin blasts in Qissa Khawani market which claimed 41 lives and maimed more than 100 others. However, we can't all be heroes. Somebody has to sit on the curb and applaud when they go by... the TTP denied all responsibility of the attacks and condemned the blasts, claiming that it had no enmity with the masses. KP Chief Minister Pervez Khattak also directed the law enforcement agencies to take all necessary steps to ensure foolproof security in the provincial metropolis after the attacks. |
