On Friday evening, Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan terrorists stormed the Karachi Police Office, located on the main Shahra-e-Faisal artery.
The sources said that the fight started at around 7:10 pm when most of the police officials had gone to their homes from the headquarters. They said that around seven to eight terrorists entered the five story-building.
The attack led to an hours-long siege and floor-by-floor operation by security forces in which all four attackers ended up being killed, while four security officials and civilians were killed and over 19 were injured.
After a three and a half hour ordeal, a joint operation of the security forces managed to clear the main building of the KPO and of all terrorists, and a search operation was launched.
