“We owe our ‘journey to peace’ to all our Pakistani martyrs. You are behind peace we live in. Salute to your sacrifices,” the DG ISPR said.
Earlier, Colonel Sohail Abid of the Military Intelligence was also martyred in the same operation in which a high-value target of banned terror outfit Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ), along with two other terrorists was gunned down.
The ISPR stated that two of the deceased were suicide bombers, while the third one was identified as Salman Badeni — LeJ head of Balochistan.
Colonel Sohail was laid to rest with full military honour in Bobari near Bara Kahu. The funeral prayers for the martyred officer were held in Rawalpindi. Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa and a large number of senior civil and military officers, soldiers, and relatives of the martyred attended the prayers.
In his message on the martyrdom of the officer, the COAS said, “When a soldier sacrifices his life I lose part flesh of my body, that night is always difficult to pass.
“But we remain fully determined to sacrifice anything and everything for the defence of our motherland,” General Bajwa added.
