Two cops shot dead in KP day after 'rocket' attack on police post
[GEO.TV] Unidentified button men rubbed out two coppers in Swat's Mingora, officials confirmed Thursday morning, as the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa battles terrorism which has witnessed an increase in recent months.

Pakistain (TTP), has upped attacks against security forces since it ended the ceasefire with Islamabad in November last year.

In response, the Pak security forces have increased their operations against forces of Evil as they seek to root out the menace of terrorism, which was crushed in the recent past.

Both constables — Umra Khan and Ashraf Ali — were shot near Mingora's Sabzi Mandi area in the morning hours, the police said, and were taken to a nearby hospital where they shuffled off the mortal coil.


After cordoning off the site, the police kicked off a search operation and detained two "suspects" from the area.

The police added that there are also reports of three armed attackers — involved in the shootout — being on the run and measures are in the works to apprehend them.

The cop shoppes and posts in this part of Peshawar have come under attack a number of times with automatic weapons and grenades in the last two years.
