In a horrifying incident in North Waziristan, Khawarij used a quad-copter to target innocent children in the village of Tappi, Miran Shah Tehsil. The attack resulted in the martyrdom of 8-year-old Aafia, daughter of Muhammad Noor, after an explosive device concealed inside a soft drink bottle was dropped directly onto her.
Investigations have revealed that the device was a locally made bomb, marked clearly with the initials “TTP,” pointing directly to the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan. Security officials stated that if the bomb had detonated with full force, it could have claimed the lives of at least 8 to 9 children. The attack appears to be a deliberate attempt to terrorise the local population and target the most vulnerable.
“This wasn’t just an attack on one child, it was a calculated act of fear, aimed at silencing and traumatising an entire village,” said a local elder during an emergency jirga convened immediately after the incident.
Strong evidence collected from the scene bore clear signs linking the act to the TTP, further exposing the group’s brutal intentions and disregard for innocent lives.
Mufti Baitullah, head of the Utmanzai Movement, led the jirga and, along with other tribal leaders, announced a strong plan of action against the terrorists. The community, in deep mourning, united in condemning the attack and pledged not to be intimidated by such inhuman tactics.
This incident has sparked widespread outrage and reignited calls for decisive action against terrorist networks operating in the region.
