Amjad, deputy of Khwarij leader Noor Wali and head of the India-linked Rehbari Shura of Fitna al Khwarij, was a high-value target with a reward of Rs 5 million and was highly sought after by authorities and the government. He was actively involved in terrorist activities inside Pakistan while in Afghanistan.
Fitna al Khwarij leaders continue to use Afghan soil to orchestrate attacks and boost the morale of militants in Bajaur and Mohmand. Pakistan reiterates that the Afghan Interim Government must prevent its territory from being used for terrorist purposes.
Security forces remain committed to defending the nation’s borders. A disinfection operation is underway to eliminate remaining militants, as part of the ongoing counter-terrorism campaign. Azm-e-Istehkamapproved within the framework of the National Action Plan.
