RAWALPINDI: Security forces Saturday gunned down a terrorist in an intelligence-based operation (IBO) in North Waziristan District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, said Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).
According to ISPR, the military’s media wing, the IBO operation was conducted in Mir Ali area of North Waziristan. As the security forces moved forward towards the suspects’ hideout, they resorted to firing, ensuing to an intense fire exchange between the troops and terrorists. After killing the suspect, the forces also recovered weapons and ammunition.
The ISPR noted that the suspect remained actively involved in terrorist activities against security forces and killing of innocent citizens.
It is pertinent to mention here that the country’s law and order situation has worsened over the past few months, with groups like the outlawed Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan carrying out attacks on law enforcement agencies (LEAs) across the country.
Earlier in January, ISPR stated that at least 11 terrorists, including a local commander, were killed in an intelligence-based operation (IBO) in South Waziristan district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP).
According to the military’s media wing, the security forces conducted an intelligence-based operation (IBO) in South Waziristan’s Wana area and successfully “foiled a high-profile terrorist activity.”
