Rawalpindi/Di Khan:
The security forces eliminated seven terrorists belonging to Tehreek-E-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) on Saturday during an intelligence-based operation in the Kulachi area of the district of Dera Ismail Khan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP).
According to a statement issued on Sunday by public relations between services (ISPR), the operation was launched after TTP presence reports in the area.
“During the operation, the troops themselves effectively compromised the location of Khwarij and, resulting, seven Khwarij sponsored by the Indians, including three Afghan citizens and two suicidal terrorists, were sent to hell,” said the statement.
He added that a disinfection operation was being carried out to eliminate any other “Khwarij sponsored by the Indians” that is hidden in the area. “Pakistan security forces are determined to eliminate the threat of terrorism sponsored by the country’s Indians,” he said.
The wing of the military media also declared that Pakistan hopes that the interim government Afghan defends its responsibilities and avoids its soil to be used for terrorist activities against Pakistan. Khwarij is the term used by security forces to describe TTP operations in view of their extremist ideology.
Separately, two terrorist hiding places in the high south of Waziristan were destroyed when the explosives stored inside fired for unknown reasons, killing six terrorists, including a foreigner and wounding another 14, including seven Afghan nationals.
Local sources said the TTP had been using a primary school in Dwara Hebat Khel and an abandoned house belonging to Syed Rehman Abdul Khil in Tangi Badin Zai as hiding places. Both sites were supplied with a large cache of explosives, FDI, grenades and rocket launchers.
At the last minute on Saturday night, the explosives detonated, killing Inayatullah, Zakir, Noor Hameem, Saeed Afghani, Khair aka Umar and Shakir Alias Maulvi.
