RAWALPINDI: A police vehicle on Wednesday was targeted by an improvised explosive device (IED) in Kulachi in the Dera Ismail Khan District, a statement released by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) mentioned.
ISPR added that the army’s quick reaction force immediately reached and cordoned the incident site.
The military’s media wing also shared that two terrorists were killed during a fire exchange, while weapons and ammunitions were also recovered.
“Locals of the area appreciated the operation and expressed their full support to eliminate the menace of terrorism from the area,” the statement added.
He pleaded not guilty and was released on $500,000 bond as he awaited trial, and one of the conditions listed in the release order stated that he "must not possess a firearm, destructive device, or other weapon." Another said that he "must not violate any federal, state or local law."
Prosecutors accuse Fetty Wap, whose legal name is Willie Junior Maxwell II, of violating those conditions during a December 11 FaceTime call in which he was allegedly seen holding a gun and threatening to kill an unnamed man, according to an affidavit supporting revocation filed in the Eastern District Court of New York.
New York Magistrate Judge Steven Locke revoked the rapper's bond following his Monday arrest in New Jersey, according to John Marzulli, spokesperson for the Eastern District of New York.
In a video recording of the call, Fetty Wap allegedly pointed the gun toward him over the phone, the affidavit said. The man is identified as John Doe in the document.
"The defendant then says to John Doe 'Imma kill you and everybody you with,'" according to the document.
The affidavit alleges that the rapper threatened the man several times during the call.
CNN has reached out to an attorney for Fetty Wap for comment.
Though the organizers did not cite a reason for calling off the festival, various media reports citing industry and festival sources said the cancellation was due to a recent interpretation of Georgia's gun law, which permits firearms in public spaces, including parks.
Weapons and explosives of any kind are prohibited at the festival, according to its website. Gun rights advocates had mounted a pressure campaign against that position, calling into question the festival's ability to restrict firearms since Georgia allows guns to be carried in parks.
Sources with knowledge of the cancellation decision by operator Live Nation who spoke to Rolling Stone cited Georgia gun laws as the reason.
Georgia gun advocate Phil Evans told CNN he emailed festival organizers in May, apprising them of Georgia gun laws and a Georgia Supreme Court case dealing with guns in which he was a party. Evans said he also asked the City of Atlanta to deny a permit to Live Nation for Music Midtown, given the festival's ban on firearms.
In the email dated May 13, Evans asked the city to deny the permit for "as they have publicly stated an intent to violate settled state law."
"The City of Atlanta should respect state law and uphold it when dealing with entities that make use of tax-payer owned properties that wish to make money from such usage, or even otherwise," the email said.
The event slated for September 17 and 18 in Piedmont Park was canceled "due to circumstances beyond our control," said the organizer's tweet.
"We were looking forward to reuniting in September and hope we can all get back to enjoying the festival together again soon," the organizers said.
Atlanta City Council President Doug Shipman said it was a "sad day" after the cancellation was announced.
"Public policy has real impacts and in this case- economic and social implications on a great tradition," Shipman tweeted.
Ticket refunds will be processed automatically within the next 24 hours, organizers said.
