Director General Inter-Service Public Relations Lt-Gen Asim Saleem Bajwa addressed a press conference on Wednesday, marking the second anniversary of operation Zarb-e-Azb.

“June 15 is a historic day for us. Before Zarb-e-Azb, the country, including North Waziristan was plagued with terrorism.”

Zarb-e-Azb has broken the back of terrorists, says Nawaz Sharif

“Over a period of two years, an area of 3,600sq km in North Waziristan has been cleared of terrorists,” DG ISPR said.

“This includes 900 terrorists belonging to Lashkar-e-Islam.”

“As promised, these operations including the Kinetic operation have been condcuted without any biasness. Shawal has also been cleared of terrorism.”‘

“Pakistan Army has recovered modern weapons from these terrorists, which they had stolen from American troops,” he told the media.

A total of 992 hideouts have been destroyed, the DG ISPR stated.


Two years after the military launched an operation, code-named Zarb-e-Azb, in the tribal areas, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said that it has restored peace while the backs of terrorists have been broken.

“Due to this (Zarb-e-Azb), the nation regained peace that was snatched by terrorists and anti-state elements,” PM Nawaz said in his message to the nation on the two-year anniversary of the massive operation.

“The back of terrorists has been broken and they will soon become part of the trash of history,” he said.

Recalling the decision to go ahead with the operation, PM Nawaz said the whole nation including Pakistan Army and other security institutions played their role with full consistency and determination, which purged the country of the scourge of terrorism.

Army won’t go back till job is done: COAS

The premier went on to describe the past two years of Zarb-e-Azb as an “everlasting tale of human determination, courage, fortitude, bravery and sacrifice” which will continue to shine in the pages of our history and would be a source of guidance for the new generation.

DG ISPR understating PA casualties about 50 percent He should at-least speak truth or check what other military commanders are stating about the PA casualties in International symposiums. i.e CO SSG in recent symposium put casualties in 700-800 range

Any idea what PA's been using for IED detection De-Mining? We know about those metal detectors and non metallic mine detectors but anything else? GPRs etc?

intricate details are withheld
terrorist sympathisers always seek out information from loose lips here who want to show off the information they get from their serving family members.

finding non metallic IEDs are hardest to get and there are some proven unconventional methods that are used too

And even if they did not, Pakistan should not care either way. They are not sincere.

Antonio Giustozzi - IHS Jane's Intelligence Review

27 September 2016

Key PointsThe Islamic State's Afghan province Wilayat Khorasan has little interest in fighting the Taliban and is likely to seek to negotiate ceasefires with local commanders where possible.For ideological, financial, and practical reasons, the Haqqani Network, the Taliban's 'Shura of the North', and the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan are unlikely to seek conflict with Wilayat Khorasan.In contrast, the leadership of the Quetta Shura sees Wilayat Khorasan as an unacceptable challenge and - barring significant pressure from other Taliban factions - will remain hostile towards the group.

When the Islamic State made its first appearance in Afghanistan in mid-2014, it was mostly welcomed by the Taliban, according to Taliban sources consulted by IHS Jane's in late 2014 and early 2015.
