Armed forces have successfully thwarted infiltration bid from Pak-Afghan border and killed 16 terrorists in North Waziristan area of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, reported 24NewsHD TV Channel.
According to ISPR, on night 22/ 23 March, movement of a group of khwarij, trying to infiltrate through Pakistan-Afghanistan border, was noticed by the security forces in general area Ghulam Khan Kallay, North Waziristan District. Pak troops effectively engaged and thwarted their attempt to infiltrate. After an intense fire exchange, all sixteen Khwarij were sent to hell.
Pakistan has consistently been asking Interim Afghan Government to ensure effective border management on their side of the border. 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.
Security forces of Pakistan are determined and remain committed to secure its borders and eliminate the menace of terrorism from the country.

He lauded the officers and personnel of security forces for killing 16 Khawarij who tried to intrude into Pakistan. He said terrorists would not be allowed to succeed in their nefarious designs.
