The Islamic State (IS) terror group has claimed responsibility for the multiple murders of at least three police personnel in Faisalabad.
According to police investigator, police has seized 40 pamphlets of IS aka Da’ish, from the site of the incident, claiming the responsibility for the deadly attack. They also threatened to carry out more attacks on the law enforcement agencies.
On Friday, two terrorists riding a motorcycle opened fire on three policemen of Punjab Highway Police Patrol, including an assistant sub inspector (ASI), killing them near Merawala Bangla.
Earlier, Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan reiterated that Islamic State had no presence in Pakistan, saying terror organisations already functioning in the country are using the outfit’s name to further their activities.
The pamphlets were thrown by the assailants on the scene after committing the crime, the official added.
Besides police, other law enforcement agencies have also initiated investigation relating to the findings in order to find clues to the involvement of the terrorist organisation.
