The security forces achieved a major success during an intelligence-based operation in Spinwam area of North Waziristan.
An intelligence-based operation was conducted in which a highly wanted terrorist commander, Khawarij Umar alias Jan Mir alias Tor Saqib, was neutralised along with four other terrorists.
Security sources stated that a bounty of Rs3 million had been placed on the head of the slain commander.
The eliminated commander of Fitna al-Khawarij was reportedly the mastermind behind several attacks on security forces and civilians.
He had established underground bunkers, tunnels and explosive traps in the area surrounding Bobali Mosque in Spinwam.
Security forces, acting on a coordinated plan, surrounded the hideouts and neutralised the terrorists.
Officials and experts have termed the success of the operation a major setback for the group, saying it is likely to help restore peace in the region.
