Pakistan Security Forces Kill 8 Khawarij During Border Clash in Hassan Khel
On the night of 5/6 April, the movement of a group of Khwarij trying to infiltrate through the Pakistan-Afghanistan border was picked up by the security forces in the general area of Hassan Khel, North Waziristan District.
Own troops effectively engaged and thwarted their attempt to infiltrate. After an intense exchange of fire, eight Khwarij were sent to hell, while four Khwarij got injured.
Pakistan has consistently been asking the Interim Afghan Government to ensure effective border management on their side of the border. The Interim Afghan Government is expected to fulfil its obligations and deny the use of Afghan soil by Khwarij for perpetuating acts of terrorism against Pakistan.
A sanitization operation is being conducted to eliminate any other Kharji found in the area, as security forces of Pakistan are determined
and remain committed to securing its borders and wiping out the menace of terrorism from the country.
