- Rangers sepoy Kamran also martyred
Pakistan Rangers Punjab conducted a special intelligence-based operation in Dera Ghazi Khan early Sunday morning in which five terrorists were killed, the military’s media wing said.
“Five terrorists – including two high-profile militants: Zulfiqar, alias Zulfi, wanted in seven FIRs and having close links with the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA); and Peer Baksh, alias Peera, having Rs2 million head-money and wanted in 15 FIRs – were killed in Chhera Thal, 40km southwest of Fort Munro,” the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in a statement.
Punjab Rangers’ sepoy Kamran was killed in the exchange of fire between the Rangers and the suspected terrorists, while Deputy Superintendent Rangers Haroon was injured and evacuated to Multan’s Combined-Military Hospital.
The funeral prayer of Shaheed Sepoy Kamran was offered at Multan Garrison. Lieutenant General Sarfraz Sattar, Corps
Commander Multan, DG Rangers Punjab Major General Azhar Naveed Hayat, serving and retired military officials attended the funeral of Kamran.
The dead body Sepoy Kamran will be taken to his hometown, Juranawala, where he will be laid to rest with full military honours.
Anti-terrorist operations under the Operation Raddul Fassad are in full swing across the country. The operation Raddul Fassad started in February following a fresh wave of terrorism in the country. The operation, unlike last military operations, was expanded to all parts of Pakistan, especially Punjab.
Radd-ul-Fasaad aims at indiscriminately eliminating the “residual/latent threat of terrorism”, consolidating the gains made in other military operations, and further ensuring the security of Pakistan’s borders.
Pakistan Air Force, Pakistan Navy, Civil Armed Forces (CAF) and other security and law enforcing agencies (LEAs) are actively participating in to eliminate the menace of terrorism from the country.
