"Vigilance and prompt response of security forces have helped save many precious lives", he said as reported by the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR). Security Forces averted a suicide attack attempt on Ghalani Camp in Mohmand Agency as all the four suicide attackers were killed earlier in the day.

The security forces effectively surrounded the attackers while two of them detonated themselves and two others were shot at and killed by the security men, thus averting a possible colossal disaster.
