On Monday, security forces in North Waziristan’s Mir Ali neutralized two terrorist hideouts, according to the military’s media wing. The operation, an intelligence-based one (IBO), targeted the Indian-sponsored Fitna al-Khawarij, a group the state labels as terrorists linked to the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan. Located inside mosques, the hideouts were used to store explosives and ran torture cells, the ISPR stated.
In the course of the operation, troops recovered a substantial cache of improvised explosive devices (IEDs), explosive preparation materials, weapons, and ammunition. The ISPR emphasized that these terrorists, allegedly aided by the Afghan Taliban, had no connection to Islam and denounced their "perverted interpretation and misuse of our great religion."
President Asif Ali Zardari praised the security forces' professionalism and reiterated his support for ongoing counter-terrorism efforts. KP Governor Faisal Karim Kundi described the incident as "deeply distressing" and called for intensified operations to restore peace in the province.
