PESHAWAR, Pakistan—Pakistan’s security forces killed 25 of 35 Islamist terrorists holed up in a counterterrorism center in the northwestern city of Bannu, while one hostage and two commandos died in the operation to retake the compound, according to the Pakistani army.
Terrorists being held at the center took control of the compound on Dec. 18 after overpowering their interrogators and taking their weapons, leading to a two-day siege and ultimately army commandoes storming the compound on Dec. 20.
