The images were extracted from CCTV footage captured within the camp, providing critical leads in the investigation.
Details of the Attack
The assault, which took place on Sunday evening, saw the terrorists enter the camp and open fire, leading to the death of seven individuals, including six non-local workers and a local doctor. Four others sustained injuries in what authorities described as a “dastardly” attack targeting unarmed civilians.
