    Security forces emerge victorious over Manawan academy attackers
    LAHORE: Security forces declared victory over attackers who besieged Manawan police academy, firing into the air in jubilation, Geo news reported on Monday.

    At least three bearded men in vests put their hands in the air and surrendered to the small group of armed security forces and commandos on the rooftop of the main academy building just outside the city of Lahore.

    The forces shouted "Allah Akbar" (God is great), flashed ‘V’ for victory signs and pumped bullets into the air, a traditional sign of celebration, nearly eight hours after attackers stormed the compound.

    Interior Advisor Rehman Malik told Geo news that four terrorists have been killed in the operation while some arrested by security agencies. The arrested terrorists have been shifted to an undisclosed location for further interrogation.
