(MENAFN - Tribal News Network) PESHAWAR: Three terrorists have been killed in an intelligence-based operation (IBO) by the security forces in North Waziristan tribal district.
According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the IBO was carried out in Mir Ali area of North Waziristan. The operation was carried out over credible information about presence of terrorists. Three terrorists associated with Aleem Khan Khushali group were killed in the operation.
The ISPR said these terrorists were involved in target killing, kidnapping for ransom, extortion and attacks on security forces.
Militants were driven out from the tribal districts in military operations, but still terrorists sometimes attack the security forces from their leftover hideouts. The security forces also conduct IBOs after receiving credible information about presence of militants to ward off any threat of attacks.
