Police have regained control of Kolachi police station after hours-long shootout with terrorists.
Twelve policemen, including an SHO, were killed in the terrorist attack on the police station in DI Khan.
The police station was taken over by a group of terrorists holding positions on the rooftop of the police station. The Army and other security forces rounded up the police station and were engaged in a shootout with the terrorists holed up inside.
The terrorists, [color="#FF0000"]one of them wearing full veil or burqa[/color], entered the police station, and gun shots were heard soon after. They locked the police station from the inside and took positions on the rooftop.
The number of the terrorists holding up inside is not immediate clear. However, unconfirmed reports put their number between 7 and 20.
The takeover of the police station by militants sparked an hours-long standoff. At least two of the intruders reportedly blew themselves up in two suicide bombings.
Three explosions rocked the police station building in quick succession, setting off plumes of smoke into the sky.
At least two dozen police officers had been inside the building when the militants stormed it; two wounded officers had managed to get out.
Between seven and 20 attackers, some wearing suicide vests and others armed with grenades and guns were involved, according to local officials.
A police official said the first blast was caused by a suicide bomber who blew himself up when an armored vehicle tried to enter the compound.
At least one of the other two explosions also was caused by a suicide bomber, said regional police chief Imtiaz Shah. He said at least 10 police officers had been killed, while five others were wounded.
The Taliban meanwhile claimed reponsibility for the police station rain.
Cheers
