A ribbon suspected of being the terrorist of the Islamic State is in runaway in Pakistan after escaping a police attack which killed six other group members, said officials said Monday.
The police counterterorism said in a statement they had attacked a hiding place in the Southwest Quetta City on Saturday and killed six terrorists, but “about four to five managed to escape”.
A senior police official talked about the anonymous requirements told AFP that “the team now robbed a different area to catch those who escaped”.
Among those killed were Asghar Sumalani, a junior commander in the regional chapter of the Islamic state – Khorasan (ISIS-K). He has a prize of two million rupees ($ 11,400) on his head.
Pakistani officials have long played the presence of Isis-K in their country.
But the group claims responsibility for many attacks, including the murder of 11 miners from the Syiah Hazara minority community last year.
Some miners were beheaded after being kidnapped from remote coal mines in the Machh Mountungan area, 60 kilometers (37 miles) southeast Quetta.
Isis-K has deep root in several provinces in East Afghanistan along the porous border with Pakistan.
The group conducted suicide bombings at Kabul Airport in August, killing scores including 13 members of US services, when the Taliban returned Afghanistan.
