Operation Zarb-e-Azb:
Pakistan armed forces have launched a military offensive against terrorists in North Waziristan.
The DG ISPR said last month that North Waziristan is last stronghold of the Tehreek-e-Taliban. He confirmed the presence of a large number of Uzbeks and other foreign militants in North Waziristan, saying that they will all be wiped out.
Action is being taken to weaken the enemy, he said, adding that terrorists’ movement was restricted by tightening security at Pak-Afghan border.
