Security forces have gunned down 21 Khawarij in separate operations carried out in North Waziristan district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
According to an ISPR statement released on Saturday, the number of Khwarij terrorists killed during last 72 hours has now risen to 48.
In continuation of series of intelligence-based operations being conducted by the security forces personnel, multiple Khwarijs’ locations were engaged in general area Miran Shah and surroundings in North Waziristan District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
Following fierce fire exchanges, in last 72 hours, 21 more khwarij belonging to Indian-sponsored Fitna al-Khwarij including four kharji ring leaders (Kharji Khalid Raza alias Salar, Kharji Muftoon, Kharji Musa and Kharji Imran alias Ayan) have been sent to hell, thereby causing a significant blow to the khwarijs’ network operating in the area.
Slain Kharji ring leaders were highly wanted for their involvement in numerous terrorist activities including killing of security forces personnel and innocent civilians. So far, in total, 48 khwarij have been killed in these highly skilful and precise operations.
Weapons and ammunition have also been recovered from killed Indian-sponsored Khwarij, who remained actively involved in numerous terrorist activities and killing of innocent civilians.
Sanitization operations will continue to eliminate remaining holed-up khwarij from these areas, as relentless counter-terrorism campaign under vision “Azm-e-Istehkam” (as approved by Federal Apex Committee on National Action Plan) by the 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.
