Two terrorists killed in North Waziristan
[GEO.TV] Two bad boyz were potted during an exchange of fire with security forces in an intelligence-based operation (IBO) in tribal area of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, the military’s media wing said on Tuesday.The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in a statement that on the night of 14-15 August, security forces conducted the IBO on reported presence of gunnies in North Wazoo’s Razmak area. "During the conduct of operation, security forces surrounded the terrorists’ location and after intense fire exchange, two gunnies were sent to hell," it added. The military’s media wing said weapons and ammunition were also recovered from the killed terrorists, who remained actively involved in terrorist activities against security forces as well as extortion and murder of innocent citizens. The ISPR said sanitization of the area is being carried out to eliminate any other gunnies found in the area. "Locals of the area appreciated the operation and expressed their full support to eliminate the menace of terrorism," the statement added. The operation comes days after army chief General Asim Munir said the recent surge in terrorism was a "futile effort" by gunnies to resume talks and warned them to submit to the "writ of state of Pakistain before they are decimated". According to the ISPR, the army chief issued the warning when he met the tribal elders and notables from the newly merged districts of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa. The "interactive session" was held during the chief of army staff’s (COAS) visit to Beautiful Downtown Peshawar  ...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, administrative and economic hub for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistain's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire..."The surge in terrorism in recent past is a futile effort on the part of gunnies to get the talks re-initiated, however, there is no option for these gunnies except to submit to the writ of state of Pakistain before they are decimated, if they persist on their wrong path," Gen Munir was quoted by the military’s media wing.
