Car bomb attack on checkpoint said to kill at least 12 police in northwest Pakistan
|
[IsraelTimes] Militants detonated a car bomb at a checkpoint in northwestern Pakistan and opened fire on police, killing at least 12 and wounding five, officials say.
“Last night in the Fateh Khel area of Bannu, a suicide bomber rammed an explosives-laden vehicle into a police checkpoint, after which multiple militants entered the post,” Bannu police official Muhammad Sajjad Khan tells AFP, adding 12 officers are confirmed dead with one more missing.
The attack took place in Bannu, a district in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province bordering Afghanistan, police official Zahid Khan says. He says multiple explosions were heard shortly after the attack and that several nearby houses and the security post collapsed from the impact of the blast.
No group immediately claims responsibility.
However, suspicion is likely to fall on the Pakistani Taliban, known as Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan, or TTP, and allied militant groups that have carried out similar attacks in the past. Pakistan has witnessed a surge in militant violence in recent years.
The TTP is a separate group but allied to the Afghan Taliban, who seized power in Afghanistan in 2021.
