PESHAWAR: Bahadur Khan, the Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) belonging to the counter-terrorism department (CTD) of Peshawar police, was gunned down by unknown assailants in Gulbahar area of Peshawar on Wednesday morning.

Peshawar SSP (operations) Dr Mian Saeed said that DSP Bahadur Khan was on his way to drop his daughter off to school when motorcycle-riding gunmen opened fire on him as the police officer's vehicle neared Anam Sanam chowk in Peshawar's Gulbahar area.

DSP Khan's daughter remained unhurt in the attack.

Police sources added that the slain DSP had been receiving threats from unknown militants.

The attackers manged to escape from the scene after the incident.

Police and rescue personnel reached the spot.

Security personnel cordoned off the area as a probe into the incident went underway.

Peshawar, the capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, lies on the edge of Pakistan's tribal areas which have been labelled by Washington as the main sanctuary for Al Qaeda and Taliban militants in the country.

The city has seen frequent attacks by militants in the past few years, with targets ranging from civilians to policemen and other law enforcement personnel

"Security cordoned off the area..." as if they will find them. Deport Afghanis from Pakistan & most of Pakistan's problems will be solved automatically or else we will continue to see this.

I bet he was forced to have zero protocol by some PTI fanatics.

May the departed soul rest in peace and may Allah give courage to his family to bear such a tragic loss. Ameen.

The enemy will now use such tactics more and more as its more convenient for them due to shortage of suicide bombers and bombings of big nature as a result of operations in tribal areas with their sanctuaries more and more getting eliminated.

Amen

since the supreme court judges suspended the hangings of the terrorists, the TTP has reignited itself.
Asma Jhangir and the vindictive gang of Ch Iftikhar judges waited for the 16 Dec-14 memory to faed from public conscience and that horrid woman moved a petition which those judges were waiting to hear and they decided
since then there have been attacks over attacks on people.

I hold the supreme court ruling responsible for the massacre and the targeted killings in Karachi, Peshawar and rest of the country.

RIP !

These people who fight to protect millions of Pakistanis from the scourge of terrorism are the real heroes - May they never be forgotten and may we all be worthy of the enormous sacrifice they've given for us !

When will these blood thirsty hounds stop killing people?

They killed this poor man on front of his daughter like that? She'll have to live with her baba's death, in front of her eyes, for the rest of her life.

Wtf is wrong with these mentally deranged people, man? Why are they so brutal and ruthless? Look back in the Islamic history and the brave caliphs and other leaders showed utmost mercy to the 'infidals' no women or children were ever targeted. No unarmed man was ever killed.

When will this bloodshed stop, man. How long will our parents bury their murdered children and how long with our children have to live without their parents who these bloody hounds of hell kill with impunity?

I think this is enough to drive any person mentally insane.

in one taliban propaganda video i saw their supposed 'mujahdeen special force' training for motorcycle riding attacks. Looks like these guys are responsible for this attack and karachi attack.
