At least nine persons, including six students, were killed and 37 others were injured when Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) militants attacked Agricultural Training Institute of Peshawar, the provincial capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), on December 1, reports The Express Tribune. At least four attackers wearing suicide jackets under the burqas (veils) reached the compound in a rickshaw. Their first target was the security guard, after which they headed inside towards the students' hostel of the Agriculture Training Institute. Director General of Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Major General Asif Ghafoor and Inspector General (IG) KP Salahuddin Mehsud both stated in separate press conferences that three terrorists had been involved in the attack and had been killed; with the IG adding that the identity of a fourth suspected attacker was being confirmed. According to ISPR, the militants had been coordinating with handlers based in Afghanistan. “The terrorists were in contact with their accomplices in Afghanistan and the executors of this attack are still based there,” Director General of ISPR Asif Ghafoor said. Two soldiers were also injured in the rescue operation. A cache of arms and ammunition, including three suicide jackets, 20 hand grenades, AK-47 rifles and improvised explosive devices (IEDs) were also recovered after the operation. About 120 out of nearly 400 college residents were present at the time of attack, as most had gone home for a long holiday weekend. TTP claimed the responsibility for the attack.

Meanwhile, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly on December 4 demanded an inquiry into Agricultural Training Institute (ATI) attack in Peshawar on December 1, reports The Express Tribune. The Lawmakers of both the Treasury and Opposition Benches were divided over the role of Security Forces (SFs) that took down the militants at the institute. Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Lawmaker Nighat Orakzai said the role of SFs had created unrest among the people. She said a student, who had had a scuffle with one of the terrorists, had told her that “he snatched the weapon from the terrorist and then locked him up in a room, but the terrorist was later killed by the security forces in the room”. Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Senior Minister for Local Government Inayatullah Khan said “If police could overcome the terrorist and arrest him easily, then why didn’t they? This needs to be investigated”. Law Minister Imtiaz Shahid Qureshi refuted the statement of the student saying that it was just hearsay, adding that he had the complete report of the police which stated that four to five militants who attacked the institute were killed in the fight with the SFs.

All these are to be scrutinised and engaged accordingly,” he added. “But peace with Da’ish (Daesh) is impossible, and, similarly, peace with other foreign terrorists invading Afghanistan like those Turkmans, Uzbeks, Chechens, Arabs, Chinese and Russians is out of the question,” Zakhilwal clarified.
