Web desk: During the attack by Fitna-al-Khwarij on the Dera Ismail Khan Police Training Centre, the Imam of the mosque, Maulana Ismat Marwat, was also martyred while he was inside the mosque.
Six police personnel and 1 civilian were martyred, and 13 others were injured in the terrorist attack on the Police Training Centre in Dera Ismail Khan (DI Khan) late Friday night. Six terrorists were killed in the retaliatory operation by security forces.
According to a police spokesperson, the attackers detonated explosives at the main gate of the training centre before opening heavy fire, causing significant casualties. The exchange of fire lasted for nearly two hours before the situation was brought under control.
These are the same Khawarij who previously attacked Ali Masjid, Kocha Risaldar, and the Police Lines Mosque, killing worshippers during prayers.
Observers say that they do not represent a religion. Their actions threaten the unity of the people. They reject the principles of peace and compassion.
