On Thursday early morning they attack Maryan police station in Bannu and claimed responsibility for the suicide mission on the police station.<br />After the Bannu jail break last year, the militants launched a coordinated attack on another police station in the district.<br />Intelligence officials informed that the militants had fired rockets and stormed into the police station which led to clash between security forces and the attackers.<br />According to police officials six militants believed to be suicide bombers were killed and one policeman was injured as police tried to avert the attack.<br />TTP spokesman Ehsanullah Ehsan said the group’s fighters had attacked the police station and added all the attackers were “suicide bombers and would fight until martyrdom”. He also said the attack was launched to avenge the killings of TTP fighters.<br />Shabbir H. Kazmihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06056438124107531142noreply@blogger.com
