ISIS claims killing of counterterrorism officer in Pakistan

 

PESHAWAR - The Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for killing a counterterrorism police officer and wounding his young son in the northwestern Pakistani city of Peshawar.

 

The militant group in a statement Sunday says its fighters carried out the shooting, but gives no further details.

 

Riazul Islam was returning home with his son Saturday evening after prayers in a suburban mosque when gunmen fired several shots and escaped on a motorcycle.

 

Islam had survived two bomb attacks in the past three years, one of which severely wounded him.
