RAWALPINDI: The security forces have killed 13 khwarij [terrorists] in an intelligence-based operation (IBO) in the South Waziristan district, the military’s media wing said in a statement on Wednesday.
According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), armed personnel effectively engaged the khwarij location on their reported presence in the district’s general area Sararogha on December 24-25.
“The killed khwarij remained actively involved in terrorist activities against the security forces and killing of innocent civilians,” the statement read.
“Sanitisation operation is being carried out to eliminate any other khwarji found in the area, as security forces of Pakistan are determined to wipe out the menace of terrorism from the country,” it added.
The recent operation came after 16 soldiers were martyred on Saturday when terrorists attacked a checkpost in Makeen in South Waziristan, while eight terrorists were also killed as the armed forces responded.
