BANNU: In yet another act of violence, Khawarij targeted peace in the Baka Khel Sardi Khel area of Bannu by attempting to abduct a member of the local peace committee. When the abduction failed, Khawarij opened fire, martyring the committee member on the spot.
Locals described the slain man as a brave figure who stood firmly against terrorism and served as a vital link between the community, the state, and the forces working to maintain peace. His stance against militancy made him a target for those who seek to destabilize the region.
Security forces responded swiftly, cordoning off the area and launching a search operation to track down the attackers. Officials vowed that the perpetrators would soon be brought to justice.
This assault is being viewed not merely as an attack on an individual, but on the collective peace and stability of the region.
