Inspector general of Police (IGP), Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Nasir Khan Durrani Tuesday said that Investigation Wing of the force since October 2013 has traced 129 cases of terrorism in which 144 terrorists were arrested and 25 were killed in encounters with police.Addressing a press conference here at Police Club, Malik Saad Shaheed Police Lines, he said the remaining accomplices of the apprehended terrorists are being processed for getting them declared as Proclaimed Offenders (POs) and the provincial government will be requested to fix head money for the POs involved in terrorism.
He told media that in most of these cases, the terrorists had their links in different tribal agencies in FATA and in some cases, Afghan nationals, who have fraudulently managed to get Pakistani CNICs are also involved.
The major groups identified in terrorist activities across the province are Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), TTP (Tariq Geedar Group), TTP (Faiq Group),Tehrik-e-Taliban Mohmand (TTM), TTP (Jangrez Group), TTP (Qari Aqeel Group), Emarat-e-Islamia Group, Tehrik-e-Taliban Swat (TTS), TTP (Gandapur Group) and Lashkar-e-Islam.
The provincial police chief said that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa being the frontline province in war terrorism, has been the main target of terrorists on account of a number of factors and developments taking place in and around the country.
He said that to its nature of duty, Police remained the most vulnerable target and as many as 79 police personnel have embraced martyrdom in just last six months. However, he despite the risks and vulnerabilities faced by the police, it is making all possible efforts to prevent and detect cases of terrorism.
The police chief said that during last four months Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Police has successfully foiled 57 attacks by the terrorists while Bomb Disposal Squad has diffused 282 IEDs across the province. Notwithstanding, the loss of four of its personnel during bomb disposal, the BDS continued to perform their duties in a courageous manner.
He also appreciated the bravery and courage of Frontier Constabulary (FC) and BDS for preventing a big loss in Monday incident. He said that the vehicle used by the suicide bomber was loaded with 60 kilogram explosive material, which has been defused successfully.
The police chief said that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is in a state of war and appreciated the maturity exhibited by the media in this situation.
He said the moral of police is high and he himself is visiting bordering posts with tribal areas to further motivate their moral. However, he said the character and role of few is resulting in their defamation, whose expulsion is necessary for the whole force. He said that 117 personnel have been dismissed from the police so far while investigation against some is still in progress.
