RAWALPINDI – An alleged suicide bomber of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan was killed during an intelligence-based operation near Dial Road, Tank, the military media wing said Sunday.
A statement issued by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said security forces killed the member of the outlawed group in an IBO in the northwestern region.
Security forces conducted the operation during a tipoff as Pakistan Army continues searching and clearing the area following the surge in terror attacks. The operation is continuing to eliminate terrorist abettors and accomplices, ISPR said.
Forces also conducted another operation in militant hideouts in South Waziristan. During the search, a huge cache of arms, ammunition, explosives, IEDs, mortars, grenades, and communication equipment was recovered from the hideout.
