The terrorists attempted to threaten the public, affect the community peace and fail the duties of security members with homemade bombs and rifles. Moreover, they contacted the armed groups to join the military courses. They conducted military courses, saved the firearms and recruited the task force. Therefore, the people should cooperate with the security members as the officials accelerate the security measures to stop the activities of insurgents and arrest the remaining suspects to ensure community peace. Legal actions will be taken against the suspects under the law and investigation will be also conducted to reveal the suspects who are still at large. —MNA
