Shooting Kills Two Policemen in Pakistan
(MENAFN) Two police officers were fatally shot on Wednesday in what authorities described as a terrorist assault in Pakistan’s Dera Ismail Khan district, located in the restive Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province, according to police.
Yaqoob Khan, the spokesperson for the Dera Ismail Khan police, reported that the attack occurred as the officers were en route to a local market in the Kulachi area. A trio of armed militants opened fire on the policemen without warning.
