Taliban executes one of highest-ranking assassinations ever
In one of the highest-ranking security officer assassinations ever, a Taliban suicide bomber killed the head of a US-backed paramilitary force in Northwestern Pakistan Wednesday.Wednesday@@@s bombing in Peshawar that killed Sifwat Ghayur, the head of the 25,000-strong Frontier Constabulary, was the first attack since monsoon rains triggered massive flooding over a week ago. The northwest city often targeted by the Taliban had been calm recently, but renewed violence could further strain a government already struggling with the flood relief effort.The bomber detonated his explosives next to Ghayur@@@s car in the center of Peshawar after waiting at a traffic light for the vehicle to approach, said the police chief@@@s driver, Shakirullah Khan, who was injured in the attack.ByREUTERS06/08/2025 07:57 AMByREUTERS06/08/2025 05:36 AMByMAARIV06/07/2025 02:33 PMByWALLA!06/07/2025 11:18 AMByREUTERS06/07/2025 03:25 AM
