4 soldiers embrace martyrdom; intelligence-based operation dealt major setbacks to TTP, its affiliates, says military
\nislamabad
\nTwenty-five terrorists were neutralised while eleven were injured after security forces conducted \u201cextensive\u201d intelligence-based operations (IBOs) in the Khyber district against the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and two of its affiliate groups, the military\u2019s media affairs wing said on Tuesday.
\nA statement from the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said that the operations were based on \u201crobust intelligence\u201d and resulted in major setbacks to Fitna al Khawarij and its affiliates.
\n\u201cDuring these daring and highly successful IBOs being conducted since 20 August 2024, security forces have so far successfully neutralized twenty-five Khwarij, including Kharji ring leader Abuzar alias Saddam, who has been sent to hell, while eleven Khawrij have been injured,\u201d the statement said.
\n\u201cHowever, during the conduct of operations, four brave soldiers, having fought gallantly, paid the ultimate sacrifice and embraced Shahadat (martyrdom),\u201d it said.
\nThe heavy losses inflicted upon Fitna Al Khawarij in these operations were a testament to the valour and commitment of the security forces to eliminate the menace of terrorism from the country, it added.
\nEarlier this month, the government declared TTP as Fitna al-Khawarij and all other terrorists associated with the group as khariji (outcasts).
\nSpeaking during a press conference, ISPR Director General (DG) Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry said that the move was made because the TTP was a \u201cmischief-making group\u201d that was \u201cneither an ideology nor has anything to do with Islam or Pakistan.\u201d
\nHe had added that security forces and law enforcement agencies (LEAs) conducted 23,622 small and large-scale IBOs in the country this year, out of which 2,045 operations were carried out in the second half of July.
\nPresident Zardari lauds security forces for successful operation
\nAppreciating the security forces for carrying out a successful operation against the Fitna al Khawarij, President Asif Ali Zardari vowed that the state will continue taking action until the complete eradication of terrorism from the country.
\n\u201cSecurity forces demonstrated courage and sent the terrorists to hell,\u201d he said and paid tribute to the soldiers who embraced martyrdom during the operations.
\n\u201cWe will neither compromise on the peace and order of the country nor hesitate to make any sacrifices for the protection of the motherland,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
