At least 11 police officers have been killed following an ambush by armed bandits in eastern Pakistan.
The bandits, armed with guns and rocket-propelled grenades, assaulted the officers as they passed through the Rahim Yar Khan district of eastern Punjab, a police statement said.Pakistan has witnessed a surge in militant attacks in recent years, but such a high number of police casualties in a single attack is rare.Pakistani security forces often carry out operations against bandits in the eastern Punjab and southern Sindh provinces, where they hide in rural, forested areas.
These false reports claimed “a 17-year-old asylum-seeker” named Ali al-Shakati was in custody after the attack, allowing the far-right to pin the horrific stabbings on Muslims and immigrants.The report, which spread quickly via social media platform X, claimed the attacker was “known to MI6”, further inflaming tensions in the wake of the tragic incident.Last week, reporters from ITV confronted Asif, but he denied playing any role in the violence across the UK.
