Security forces killed 10 terrorists on Thursday who attacked a checkpost in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Jandola area, according to a statement from the interior ministry. According to the statement, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi paid tribute to security forces for repelling the attack.

Terrorists in explosive vests have reportedly threatened Pakistan train passengers' lives if officials refuse to release imprisoned militants.

The Pakistani government, facing a widening security crisis in the country’s restive southwest, has given little indication it intends to negotiate with the militants.
