RAWALPINDI: Security forces killed 11 terrorists in an operation in South Waziristan district’s Wana area, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said, as country battles rising militancy. In a statement, military’s media wing said while conducting intelligence-based operation (IBO) in general area, security forces successfully “Foiled a high-profile terrorist activity”. Local terrorist commander, Hafiz Ullah and two suicide bombers were among gunned-down militants, military’s media wing said, noting that huge quantity of weapons and ammunition were also recovered in IBO.

“Killed terrorists remained actively involved in terrorist activities against security forces and target killing of police in South Waziristan district,” ISPR mentioned.

Terrorism has recently surged in Pakistan after outlawed Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan called off ceasefire with Islamabad in November last year and heightened militant activities across country.

According to reports, TTP regrouped in Afghanistan after Taliban’s takeover, with Pakistan repeatedly asking interim government in neighbouring country to ensure that its soil isn’t used for terrorism. But Taliban-led government has not been able to live up to expectations.

“This terrorism will be dealt with full force of state. Pakistan’s security is uncompromisable and full writ of state will be maintained on every inch of territory.”  It can be rightly said the Pakistan Armed Forces are fully prepared to thwart all kinds of terrorist activities with full force and determination to nip the evil of terrorism in bud.
