ISLAMABAD, Oct 4 (DNA): Pakistani military said on Sunday that two

hardcore terrorists were killed in the country’s northwest tribal

district of North Waziristan.

A statement from the army’s media wing, the Inter-Services Public

Relations, said that the security forces conducted an intelligence-based

operation in Mir Ali area of North Waziristan, killing two hardcore

terrorists and arresting another.

This is the second operation against the terrorists in North Waziristan

district in three days. The army said on Friday night that two hardcore

terrorists were killed while another was captured after the security

forces conducted an intelligence-based operation on a terrorist hideout

in Boya area of North Waziristan.

Pakistani military had conducted a series of operations against

terrorist groups in North Waziristan that borders Afghanistan. Although

the area has mostly been pacified, remnants of the terrorist groups

still manage to launch attacks on the security forces sporadically.

The Pakistani army says that members of the Pakistani militant groups

have fled to Afghanistan and now operate from the other side of the

border. Pakistan is fencing its nearly 2,600 kilometers border, mostly

porous, to stop the cross-border movement of the militants. DNA
