Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi on Tuesday confirmed that at least “three people were martyred” during the ongoing operation at Cadet College Wana in South Waziristan. “Terrorists tried to take people hostage inside the cadet college but did not succeed,” he said, adding that attackers were in contact with their handlers in Afghanistan. The peace talks between the Afghan Taliban regime and Pakistan broke down, although a ceasefire continues between the two neighbours.
