‘Bajaur raid was a pre-emptive strike’

ISLAMABAD: The attack on a madrassa in Bajaur Agency on Monday was a pre-emptive strike to prevent the militants being trained there from conducting terrorist activities, according to security officials. The militants were actually undergoing training when the operation began at 4:30am on Monday, the officials said. The madrassa was the only one that had not been closed after the educational session ended with Ramazan, and this was “concrete evidence” that it was a training camp for militants, they said. Al Qaeda trainers might have been in the compound at the time of the operation, they added. staff report
