Swat, Pakistan: A bomb-making factory operated by Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) terrorists, along with an adjacent compound, exploded on Monday in the Tirah Valley of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. Preliminary reports suggest that some of the dead terrorists were Afghan nationals who had been residing inside the TTP compound. Local correspondent Gull Khan from Swat reported that senior TTP commanders Aman Gul and Masood Khan had established hideouts in the compound. Reports further indicate that the terrorists deliberately built the facility next to civilian residences, effectively using innocent families as human shields. It is worth recalling that just recently, a similar incident occurred in Bajaur, where TTP terrorists were killed inside a mosque that was also being misused as a bomb-making facility.
