Security forces kill 11 terrorists in KP's North Waziristan: ISPR
Security forces have killed 11 terrorists in the Datta Khel area of Khyber Pakhtunkhwaโs North Waziristan district during the last 48 hours, the militaryโs media affairs wing said on Sunday. A statement by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said security forces had โengaged multipleโ terrorist locations as part of a series of intelligence-based operations in the area. โFollowing intense and fierce exchanges of fire, eleven khawarij belonging to India-sponsored Fitna-al-Khawarij were effectively neutralised,โ the statement said. Fitna-al-Khawarij is a term that the state uses for the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan. According to ISPR, weapons and ammunition were recovered from the slain terrorists, who โremained actively involved in numerous terrorist activities in the areaโ. โSanitisation operations continue to eliminate holed up khawarij from these areas, as a relentless counter-terrorism campaign under the vision โAzm-i-Istehkamโ (as approved by Federal Apex Committee on National Action Plan) by security forces and law enforcement agencies of Pakistan will continue at full pace to wipe out the menace of foreign-sponsored and supported terrorism from the country,โ the ISPR statement added.
