In another statement, Khurasani said the Pakistan Army today killed 2 Mujahideen in a fake encounter in Swat, days after arresting them.
Yesterday, the Swat police announced the arrest of two mujahideen and presented them before the media, he said.
“Today, they martyred the same mujahideen and released their photos and reported that there was an attack on the police and three Mujahideen were killed in response.
“There is no truth in the news of the attack. These are the same Mujahideen who were arrested a few days ago and today were martyred in a fake encounter,” he said.
