ISLAMABAD, Nov. 11 (Xinhua) -- Two terrorists were killed as the security forces foiled a terrorist attack on a cadet college in Pakistan's northwest South Waziristan district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, the military said on Monday.
The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the media wing of the Pakistan Army, said the terrorists' attempt to breach the perimeter security was thwarted by security forces, and in desperation, the attackers rammed an explosive-laden vehicle on the main gate of the college, damaging the main gate and adjacent infrastructure.
The ISPR said the security personnel effectively engaged the intruders with precision, killing two terrorists on the spot, adding that the other three terrorists, who managed to enter the college premises, have been cornered by the forces.
Clearance operations are being conducted to eliminate the remaining terrorists in the area, the ISPR said.
The military said the country will continue its relentless counter-terrorism campaign, adding that security forces and law enforcement agencies of Pakistan will continue at full pace to wipe out the menace of terrorism from the country. ■
