Governor KP escapes attempt on life

Source Pakistan Observer

Terrorist’s attack on a police party, deployed for Governor Khyber Pukhtunkhwa’s security duty, moments before governor’s visit to Garrison College Kohat Monday morning resulted in Shahadat of two cops.

Reports reaching from Kohat said the governor KP Barrister Masood Kausar was scheduled to visit the Garrison College Kohat Monday morning and the security of the venue was being beefed up with the deployment of heavy contingents of Police.

In the meanwhile, as the police sources said, a police mobile squad was returning after dropping the contingents at the venue, when it was ambushed by the unknown terrorists near Kohat cement factory at Rawalpindi road with sophisticated weapons.

The assault on the Police van resulted in martyrdom of two Policemen on board the vehicle. The miscreants as the reports said managed to slip away from the scene after committing the crime.

Heavy contingents of the Police and others security forces rushed to the site of the attack and kicked off the search operation but their hunt remained abortive as nobody could be netted. It was also learnt that entire staff of a roadside hotel near the scene was also found missing when enforcers of law reached the spot.

The police force and the security forces in Kohat, native town of Governor Kausar, had been attacked by the militants several times in the past which resulted in killing of scores of men in uniform as well as civilians.
