Two Frontier Corps personnel were martyred and four suicide bombers were killed in a shootout triggered after a group of militants attacked a mosque at an army facility in Mohmand Agency on Saturday morning.
According to Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), four suicide bombers tried to enter Ghalani Camp at around 6:00am and started firing after they reached the mosque, where residents and a large number of recruits were present.
ISPR Director General Asim Bajwa said ‘security forces valiantly defeated’ the suicide attack. Two soldiers were also martyred in a shootout with militants and 14 others were injured.’
The attackers were “contained in the outer courtyard” of the mosque, and subsequently all four were killed.
A search operation was also launched to trace and arrest any accomplices of the attackers.
The last attack of such a scale in Mohmand Agency at the very same place was on December 6, 2010 when a twin suicide bombing wreaked havoc.
