RAWALPINDI: Security forces have killed 11 Khwarij in two separate operations in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
As many as 11 Khwarij belonging to the Indian proxy Fitna Al Khwarij were killed in two separate engagements in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, according to a statement issued by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) here on Saturday.
Following reports of Khwarij presence, an Intelligence Based Operation (IBO) was conducted by security forces in the North Waziristan District. The troops effectively engaged the Khwarij location and, after an intense fire exchange, six Khwarij were killed.
Another joint intelligence-based operation by police and security forces was conducted in the Kurram District. In the ensuing fire exchange, five Khwarij were effectively neutralised. Weapons and ammunition were also recovered from the killed Indian-sponsored Khwarij, who had been actively involved in numerous terrorist activities against security forces, law enforcement agencies and targeted killing of innocent civilians.
Sanitisation operations are being conducted to eliminate any other Indian-sponsored Khwarij found in the area. The relentless counter-terrorism campaign under the vision “Azm-e-Istehkam” (as approved by the Federal Apex Committee on the National Action Plan) by 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.
