Pak forces thwart terror attack, kill two suicide bombers

Pakistani security forces today shot dead two suicide bombers who were planning to carry out an attack in the country's restive Bajaur agency bordering Afghanistan, officials said.
The militants were trying to enter Tehsil Gatki but were killed in the exchange of fire during a raid by the security personnel, officials said.
One of the militants opened fire at the personnel and was shot dead in retaliatory action, while another blew himself up, they said.
A huge cache of arms and explosives were seized from them, the officials added.
The bodies of the militants were moved to Headquarters Hospital in Khar.

The security has been tightened at all the entry and exit points to the area.

Bajaur is an agency of the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) of Pakistan. It is the smallest of the agencies in FATA.
According to Ministry of States and Frontier Regions, FATA has been the country's worst hit region due to terrorist attacks in the last four years.
A total of 3,062 people have been killed in terrorists attacks in the region since 2013-14, the ministry said in a report.
