ISLAMABAD, Nov 15 (APP): Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi on Saturday visited Cadet College Wana, where security forces recently thwarted a militant attack aimed at targeting students and staff.
He was received by Inspector General Frontier Corps Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (South), Major General Mehr Umar Khan.
During the visit, Naqvi met Pakistan Army officers and soldiers who successfully repelled the assault and safely rescued all cadets and teachers.
He also interacted with students and faculty members, commending their courage and high morale in the aftermath of the incident. Briefings were given to the minister on how the attack was foiled and how all students and teachers were evacuated without casualties.
Naqvi lauded the professionalism and bravery displayed by the Pakistan Army and Frontier Corps, calling their actions “an exemplary display of courage and expertise.”
“These are not just terrorists; they are beasts with no connection to humanity,” Naqvi said. “No religion permits targeting children, and these animals follow no religion. Calling them human is an insult to humanity.”
He added that the attackers intended to stage an atrocity similar to the Army Public School tragedy, but the prompt and decisive action of the security forces “sent the militants to hell and defeated their conspiracy.”
Naqvi declared all officers and soldiers involved in the rescue operation as “national heroes,” and announced that Cadet College Wana would soon undergo comprehensive renovation and restoration.
The minister reiterated the government’s resolve to stand by the armed forces and to ensure the safety of educational institutions across the region.
