Three children martyred, in unknown quadcopter attack on the house of PML-N leader in Spinwam area of North Waziristan late night Monday.
Local sources said that Fitna-ul-Kharij terrorists targeted the house of Malik Liaquat Ali Khan, a local leader of the Pakistan Muslim League (N), when he refused to pay extortion.
The highlight of the attack was the use of a “quadcopter” drone, through which explosives were dropped on the house. As a result of this cowardly act, one of Malik Liaquat Ali Khan’s sons and two nephews were seriously injured, who were immediately shifted to a nearby hospital.
Police and security sources say that the attack is proof that terrorists are now resorting to modern technology instead of traditional guerrilla warfare to terrorize civilians from a distance.
According to local authorities, for the past few years, these groups operating from across the border have intensified their harassment of businessmen and politicians through extortion calls, and such attacks are carried out when the demands are not met.
This incident is a continuation of a series in which a mortar shell was fired at a house in Bara some time ago, injuring seven people, including women and children. These successive attacks have caused intense anger in the area. Residents of Spinwam and the surrounding areas have strongly condemned the attack, making it clear that targeting innocent children is not in any way jihad or ideology, but pure brutality.
Residents of the area have expressed their full solidarity with the security forces in this difficult time and have demanded that intelligence-based operations be accelerated to stop these “modern-style terrorism” acts so that the networks of Fitna al-Kharijites that are now directly targeting the civilian population can be completely eliminated.
