Wagah attack suspects among 13 killed in Khyber airstrikes
2014-11-12
[DAWN] Security forces in precise aerial strikes in Daras area of Khyber Agency killed 13 suspected holy warriors including some foreigners on Tuesday, Pak military said.

"Strikes were carried out on credible intelligence about presence of holy warriors involved in Wagah border suicide kaboom," said a statement issued by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).

During the strikes, fighter jets destroyed three murderous Moslem hideouts including an ammunition depot.

Intelligence sources believe that the criminal mastermind and handlers of Wagah border incident might be among the dead.

The information, however, could not be verified independently due to restricted access for journalists in the area.

At least 60 Paks were killed during the popular flag-lowering ceremony on the India-Pakistain border at Wagah when the bomber tried to get as close as possible to the border earlier this month.

Claiming responsibility of the attack, Jamaat-ul-Ahrar ‐ a splinter group of Pak Taliban, had said the attack was as much aimed at India as Pakistain.
