Understanding the 'double tap' tactic used by terrorists in Pakistan to increase fatalities
A 'double-tap' strike occurs when militants execute a primary attack and then target the rescue teams or reinforcements that arrive. This method has gained attention following a recent incident where terrorists struck a police checkpoint and then launched a secondary assault on those arriving to help. According to a report, at least 16 police officers have lost their lives over the last three years while responding to such incidents, rather than during the first wave of the attack.
