Two motorcycle riders, identified as Abdullah, son of Muhammad Noor, and Nawar Khan, son of Muhammad Khan, were shot dead by unidentified gunmen in the Gangi Khel Staff area of Barmal, Lower South Waziristan, according to local sources. Abdullah was reportedly employed as a clerk in the Health Department.
Islamic State Khorasan Province (IS-KP) later claimed responsibility, alleging that both men worked for intelligence agencies. The allegation has not been independently substantiated.
In the Wana area, IS-KP’s publicly claimed activity has largely involved alleged informants and religious figures, including members associated with Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam, rather than direct attacks on police, FC or military personnel. This pattern should be treated as an assessment based on reported and claimed incidents, rather than evidence that the group does not target security forces.
Independent verification is pending.
