As the militant saw the security forces, he opened random senseless aimless fire on them.
The security personnel responded to the attack
and killed the militant leader.
| Right there on the spot... |
He was identified as Said Rahim alias Abid.
| Not exactly an alias that inspires fear and admiration, but perhaps it sounds better in Urdu... |
The sources said that the militant was involved in attacks on security forces in the area, including a recent attack on a Frontier Corps convoy.
