LAKKI MARWAT: Two terrorists were killed and a police constable embraced martyrdom in a gun battle in Lakki Marwat district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, police said on Monday.

District police spokesperson Qudratullah Khan said the gunfight erupted when police conducted a targeted operation in a forest near the Khundan area, bordering Bannu district.

He said that a large police contingent was dispatched to the area after local law enforcement authorities received credible intelligence reports that Fitna-al-Khawarij terrorists were hiding in the forest.

Fitna al Khawarij is a term that the state uses for the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan.

“The exchange of fire continued for some time, resulting in the neutralisation and killing of two terrorists,” he maintained.

Qudratullah added that police constable Attiqur Rehman was also martyred in the exchange of fire.

22 terrorists killed in joint IBO in KP's Khyber, says military's media wing​

Security forces killed 22 terrorists in a joint intelligence-based operation (IBO) in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Khyber District, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said on Friday.

According to the ISPR, on April 21 (Tuesday), security forces and law enforcement agencies conducted a joint IBO in Khyber on the reported presence of terrorists.

During the operation, after an intense exchange of fire, “22 khawarij belonging to Indian-sponsored Fitna-al-Khwarij were sent to hell”, it said.

Fitna al Khawarij is a term the state uses for terrorists belonging to the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).

“Due to cowardice and fear of getting apprehended alive, khawarij resorted to indiscriminate firing, which resulted in [the] martyrdom of a 10-year-old innocent child,” the ISPR added.

The military’s media wing added that weapons and ammunition were also recovered from the terrorists, who were actively involved in numerous terrorist activities in the area.

A sanitisation operation is being conducted to eliminate any other khawarij found in the area, the ISPR statement added.

The country’s “relentless” counter terrorism campaign under vision ‘Azm-i-Istekham’ “will continue at full pace to wipe out the menace of foreign-sponsored and supported terrorism from the country,” it said, adding that the sacrifice of innocent civilians further strengthened resolve.
