Terrorist Hasan Khan had joined Tariq Gidar group in 2022 whereas the killed terrorist Anas in 2018 was an expert sniper and involved in terrorist attacks against security forces in North Waziristan and South Waziristan districts.
The local people were fully cooperating with the security agencies against the terrorists due to which these terrorists were not getting any hiding place.
Due to the rejection of the local population, the terrorists were forced to secretly bury their dead terrorists.
The coal miners, business community and common people of the area breathed a sigh of relief with the elimination of the wanted terrorists.
The security forces would continue their continuous efforts to make the country safe and free from terrorism with the cooperation of the people.
Effective and timely operations of intelligence agencies and security forces have narrowed the ground for terrorists inside and outside the country, the ISPR said.
