the circumstances surrounding the incident were being investigated.
Police sources told Dawn that the Sararogha cop shoppe SHO, along with a contingent, rushed to the site after receiving information about the blast.
The police team inspected the area, collected evidence and launched an investigation into the incident.
The incident comes amid a persistent surge in terrorist attacks in Upper and Lower South Waziristan districts over the past two years.
Personnel of the police, security forces and civilians have increasingly come under attack in the two districts, raising serious concerns about the deteriorating law and order in the region.
The martyrdom of the BDS official has once again highlighted the risks faced by personnel involved in defusing IEDs and other kabooms in the terrorism-hit tribal districts.
Abdul Jabbar’s death is another loss for the police force, particularly those engaged in dangerous operations to prevent bombs from causing casualties among residents and security personnel.
On the same day, an incident was reported in Toi Khulla Bazaar in Lower South Waziristan district, where an unidentified person wearing a burqa threw a hand grenade near the place where police personnel were seated. However,
