Countering Terrorism: A Recent Operation in Peshawar
In recent news, an operation by the Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) in Peshawar has drawn attention for its swift and decisive action against a group of terrorists. The raid, which occurred near the Akhun Baba graveyard on Azakhel Road, was launched based on credible intelligence indicating that these individuals were planning a significant act of sabotage.
The CTD, alongside Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) teams, moved in quickly after receiving this information. During the operation, the officers faced gunfire from the terrorists, which led to a fierce exchange. Sadly, three terrorists were killed during this confrontation, while two others managed to escape.
After the dust settled, the search teams recovered not only the bodies of the deceased terrorists but also their weapons, including a trio of Kalashnikov rifles and an extensive supply of ammunition. This successful outcome highlights the importance of swift and well-coordinated responses to intelligence reports.
The Inspector General of Police for Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, Zulfiqar Hameed, alongside the Additional Inspector General of Police CTD, commendably praised the operation’s execution. They emphasized that such actions are vital for ensuring the safety of citizens and reaffirmed their commitment to intensifying efforts against terrorism in the province.
