Operation Radd-ul-Fasaad - Updates, News and Discussions.

Pakistan's military has stepped up operations along the Afghan border in recent weeks after a spate of militant attacks that has dashed any hope the frontier might see more peace and stability after the end of the war in Afghanistan.

Terrorists have martyred at least 14 soldiers in attacks over the past month, three of them carried out by fighters entering from Afghanistan, according to the military.

Afghanistan's new Taliban rulers, struggling with a humanitarian crisis, have denied that Afghan territory was used in any of the attacks.

But despite such assurances, disputes linked to the border, which has been a bone of contention between the neighbours for decades, could undermine their relations.

The military said six insurgents were killed in the latest clash in Balochistan on Wednesday.

"Operations to eliminate such perpetrators of terrorist acts in Pakistan will continue," the military said in a statement.

A top security official with direct knowledge of border operations told Reuters: "We have stepped up intelligence-based operations to ensure that we deny entry to militants."

Large areas on the Pakistani side of the border were out of the control of the government for decades, ruled by fiercely independent Pashtun tribes, whose communities often straddle both sides of the unmarked border.

But Pakistan is determined to end all that, aiming to bring the rugged Pashtun lands under central rule and to demarcate the border with a fence, and control who comes and goes with a tight border-control system, another Pakistani official said.

"We're targeting anyone who is a threat," said the second official, who also declined to be identified.

'Friends'

Pakistan has enjoyed good relations with the Afghan Taliban for years even though Pakistan was officially an ally of the United States during its 20-year occupation of Afghanistan.

But as Pakistan grapples with violence, its appeals to the Taliban to control their side of the border have not brought the action it hopes to see.

Increasingly frustrated, officials have been pressing the Taliban to deny space and resources to the militants, an appeal repeated by National Security Adviser Moeed Yusuf when he visited Kabul last month.

The Security Forces conducted an Intelligence Based Operation (IBO) on Sunday after reported presence of terrorists in North Waziristan District, said an Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) media release The five terrorists who were killed during intense exchange of fire were identified as Terrorist Habib Nawaz alias Shakil, Terrorist Waheed Ullah, Terrorist Abdur Rehman, Terrorist Muhammad Ullah whereas the identification of fifth terrorist was in progress.

The killed terrorists were involved in terrorist activities against security forces, target killing and kidnapping for ransom.

The martyred soldier was identified as Sepoy Shabbir Ahmed (resident of Quetta, age – 28 years) who fought gallantly and inflicting casualties upon the terrorists, embraced shahadat (martyrdom) during intense fire exchange.

During the IBO, weapons and ammunition was also recovered from the killed terrorists which included sub machine guns, hand grenades and large quantity of multiple calibre rounds.

“Pakistan Army is determined to eliminate the menace of terrorism and such sacrifices of our brave soldiers further strengthen our resolve,” it said.
 
I watched an Al Jazeera documentary which showed the Pakistan army/FC during their assault on the TTP in Bajaur. The army officers showed the amount of training the terrorists recieved. Books and manuals with detailed instructions on how to range and lead your shots properly, combat tactics etc etc. They arent a rag tag militia. They are well trained in respect to most militancies. Its just that the army is better trained and cleverer

These militants are a hodgepodge of Baloch and others that have fermented in Afghanistan for the last 2 decades and received training at NATO bases with access to the latest weaponry. I read somewhere that former NDS/ANA members have also joined the ranks of these scumbags so their lethality is not surprising.
