PESHAWAR: Four suspected Afghan terrorists were killed in a clash with security forces on Friday in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

The clash occurred in Mohmand Agency's Khwezai tehsil, which borders Afghanistan.

"Terrorists attacked a security check post in Khozai area of Mohmand Agency, which borders Afghanistan," said a security official.

The security official added all four terrorists were killed in retaliatory action by security forces.

Mohmand is one of Pakistan’s seven tribal agencies near the Afghan border where the military has been battling Al-Qaeda and Taliban-linked militants for over a decade.
