(Karachi) Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa and his wife visited the family of Colonel Mujeeb ur Rehman, who embraced martyrdom during an intelligence based operation (IBO) in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa’s Tank district in March.

The army chief offered Fatheha and prayed for departed soul, a statement issued by Inter-Service Public Relations (ISPR) stated on Wednesday.

“Sacrifices rendered by our officers and men shall never go waste. Our fight against terrorism shall continue till achievement of enduring peace and stability,” the COAS said.

Colonel Mujeeb embraced martyrdom while security forces foiled a major terrorist attack during the security operation near Tank earlier this year. Two high-value terrorists were killed during the operation.
