IEDs, ammunition recovered from terrorist hideouts inside mosques in North Waziristan: ISPR
Says terrorists deliberately establish hideouts in mosques to store explosive materials, also ran torture cells there
Security forces uncovered a significant stockpile of improvised explosive devices, ammunition, and other weapons during a raid on two terrorist hideouts hidden inside mosques in North Waziristan on Sunday, according to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR). The operation targeted locations established by the Indian proxy group, Fitna Al-Khawarij, which is the state-designated name for the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).
The ISPR reported that the terrorists had deliberately set up these hideouts within places of worship to store explosive materials and also operated torture cells there. The military emphasized that the desecration of mosques by the Indian proxy group is a clear violation of Islamic teachings and is strongly condemned by the people of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and Pakistan.
The ISPR stated that efforts to eliminate any additional terrorist strongholds in the region would continue under the "Azm-e-Istehkam" strategy approved by the Federal Apex Committee.
