Earlier this day a suspicious person (a Khariji terrorist) was moving through the fields near Jand and Khushal Garh Bridge, Kohat, when Liaqat, a resident of Mankor village in Jand tehsil of Attock district, stopped him and asked for identification.
The suicide bomber, in panic, blew himself up, as a result of which the brave citizen Liaqat was martyred on the spot, while the Khariji attacker was also killed.
Martyr Liaqat stood like a wall of steel before the enemy and saved not only the checkpoint but also many precious lives nearby.
