An intelligence-based operation (IBO) was carried out by security forces during which a commander of the TTP's Hafiz Gul Bahadur group, identified as Hassan alias Sajna, was gunned down, says ISPR.
He was allegedly involved in the murder of four women social workers on Saturday, said military’s media wing.
The report vindicates Pakistan’s longstanding position on threats posed to Pakistan and the region by groups like the TTP, JuA, HuA and their affiliates, based in Afghanistan, FO said.
The FO said Pakistan stands firm in its resolve to partner with international community against the menace of terrorism.
