Açıklama

Security forces foiled a suicide bombing in South Waziristan and killed four terrorists, including the suicide bomber, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in a statement on Saturday. According to the military’s media wing, the terrorists attempted to ram an explosives-laden vehicle into a security forces checkpost in the district. However, “their nefarious designs were checked and decisively foiled by the vigilant and resolute response of security forces”. “The attackers explosive-laden vehicle was successfully engaged and destroyed outside the perimeters of post, killing one suicide bomber in it, which failed to cause any damage,” said the ISPR, adding that the objective was to breach the checkpost. The ISPR further said that the troops “engaged the remaining intruders, forcing three khwarij into a nearby compound, where they were later neutralised in a deliberate clearance operation carried out with precision, without any casualties on the security forces’ side”. Fitna al Khawarij is a term the state uses for terrorists belonging to the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan. The statement further said that a sanitisation operation was carried out in the general area to eliminate any other terrorist found in the area vowing that under the “relentless counter-terrorism campaign under vision ‘Azm-i-Istehkam’ (as approved by Federal Apex Committee on 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”.
