Web desk: Between August 7 and 9, security forces carried out a major operation in the Sambaza area of Balochistan, targeting a large formation of Fitna al-Khawarij terrorists who were attempting to cross the border.
The forces effectively neutralised them, sending them to hell, according to security sources.
During the operation, 47 terrorists were killed, most of whom were Afghan nationals, sources confirmed. They added that the majority of the terrorists killed along the border fell on the Afghan side.
Reports suggest that even 15 days after their deaths, no one from Afghanistan came to collect the bodies, which remained decomposing across the border.
According to security sources, on August 25, following a ‘jirga’ with Afghan officials at the border, the bodies were finally carried away on donkeys.
By that time, they had decomposed due to exposure in the open sun and had also become food for carnivorous animals.
Sources highlighted that eliminating this large terrorist formation before it could carry out any attack marks a major success for Pakistan’s security and intelligence agencies.
