The Pakistain Army confirmed on Friday that gunnies targeted security forces in three overnight attacks in the Lakki Marwat district, triggering shoot-outs in which three soldiers were martyred and seven gunnies were killed.
In the first attack, a jacket wallah on a cycle of violence went kaboom! near a security forces camp, located in the Government Postgraduate College, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in a statement. The attack was followed by a fierce exchange of fire in which soldiers killed four bully boys.
The two other incidents took place in the district’s Amir Kalam and Tajbi Khel areas, during which another three bully boys, including key bully boy commander Musa Khan, were bumped off, the military’s media wing said, adding that weapons and ammunition were seized from their possession.
Tehrik-e-Jihad Pakistain, a bully boy group that surfaced for the first time, has grabbed credit for the attacks in a statement issued by the organization’s front man, Mulla Mohammad Qasim.
Rooters also cited a report by an intelligence agency that identified the new, little-known bully boy group as being involved in the attacks, though the report couldn’t be immediately confirmed.
The attacks were reported on Thursday night, but there was no official word from military or security agencies regarding the incidents or the number of casualties then.
ISPR said soldiers repulsed all the attacks, which took place within a short span of time.
The three martyred soldiers were identified as Naib Subedar Taj Mir, 40, resident of Nowshera district; Havaldar Zakir Ahmed, 38, from Abbottabad

district.
"Sanitisation of the areas is being carried out to eliminate any other holy warriors found in the area. Security forces of Pakistain are determined to eliminate the menace of terrorism and such sacrifices of our brave soldiers further strengthen our resolve," the military said.
The bloodshed in Lakki Marwat came after the military declared a new offensive against gunnies amid a resurgence of attacks in recent months, including a Beautiful Downtown Peshawar

Pakistain ended its ceasefire with the government in November.
A statement from Tehreek e Jihad Pakistan (TJP) sent to CNN confirmed that the group was formed on February 23 in order to “establish an Islamic system in Pakistan” through the use of “armed Jihad.”
A singularly unhelpful announcement, except inasmuch as it provides an official start date for the group. One of these days no doubt we’ll learn that it’s just the usual false-nose-and-mustache for Tehrik-e Taliban (Pakistan) or the Haqqani Network.
