targeting a military post
\n LOWER SOUTH WAZIRISTAN: Security forces have foiled an attempted suicide attack targeting a military post in the Kari Kot area of Lower South Waziristan\u2019s Wana, killing four terrorists, sources said on Thursday. According to security sources, the terrorists tried to attack the security forces\u2019 post using an explosives-laden vehicle late at night. But the attempt was foiled as the threat was detected, and the suicide attacker was killed, they said. The sources said that three other terrorists were also killed in the action taken by security forces. They said the targeted post was being used to protect the local population and to prevent the movement of Fitna-al-Khawarij \u2014 a term that the state uses for the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban \u2014 towards Wana Bazaar. The sources said that the terrorists wanted to destroy the post after their persistent failure in achieving their objectives. A search and clearance operation was launched in the area after their unsuccessful attempt to attack the post, they added. Last month, the district administrations of Upper South Waziristan and Lower South Waziristan had imposed Section 144 in several areas due to security concerns and the movement of security forces.
