At Least 10 Killed in Pakistani Police Station Attack as Elections Near

HeadlineFeb 05, 2024

In northwest Pakistan, at least 10 police officers were killed earlier today when over two dozen militants attacked a police station in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa region. The group Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan claimed responsibility for the attack. This comes just days before Thursday’s elections in Pakistan.

Meanwhile, Pakistan’s imprisoned former Prime Minister Imran Khan and his wife were sentenced Saturday to seven more years in prison after a court ruled their marriage was unlawful. Khan has now been sentenced in three separate cases over the past two weeks. His supporters say the Pakistani judiciary is unfairly targeting Khan, who was ousted from power in 2022.
