In a heart-wrenching act of violence, an 8-year-old girl was martyred when an improvised explosive device (IED) planted by Indian-backed khawarij detonated in the village of Manzar Khel, North Waziristan.
The explosion occurred near a roadside where the device had been secretly installed. Eyewitnesses reported that the blast was so powerful it spread panic throughout the area. Security forces quickly arrived on the scene, cordoned off the vicinity, and launched a thorough investigation.
According to local sources, the IED was planted by the outlawed network “Khawarij,” which is reportedly operating on the behest of Indian intelligence. The device was intended to target security personnel, but tragically claimed the life of an innocent child instead.
Security agencies have repeatedly warned that terror groups based in Afghanistan, with the backing of Indian intelligence, are carrying out attacks in Pakistan with the goal of destabilizing the peace and progress in tribal regions.
This attack follows a recent incident in Mir Ali’s village of Hormuz, where khawarij used a quad-copter to target civilians. Today’s blast has reignited grief and anger in the region.
Residents, mourning the loss of the young girl, are demanding immediate and decisive action against the facilitators and sponsors of these foreign-backed khawarij to prevent further tragedies.
