In a momentous triumph over terrorism, the Balochistan Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) achieved a remarkable feat by neutralizing five highly dangerous terrorists belonging to the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) during a fierce encounter in Quetta's Aghberg area. This meticulously planned operation unfolded in the early hours of a Thursday morning, marking a crucial milestone in the fight against extremism.
The CTD Spokesman officially confirmed the successful termination of these five terrorists, all of whom had affiliations with the banned TTP. The operation itself was executed with precision, driven by intelligence gathered from Naseebullah, an alleged TTP member who had been apprehended and was cooperating with the CTD. Naseebullah's invaluable information led to the discovery of his associates in Quetta, who were allegedly in the advanced stages of plotting a destructive act within the city's boundaries.
The official press release detailed the operation's initiation based on information derived from Naseebullah, who had been named in FIR number 84-2023. Upon arrival at the location, the CTD team swiftly cordoned off the area, sparking an intense exchange of gunfire as the terrorists, evidently sensing the impending threat, opened fire indiscriminately in a desperate bid to escape their encirclement.
Two of the militants attempted to evade capture by fleeing on a motorcycle, but the vigilant raiding party responded with unwavering precision, engaging them in a firefight.
Realizing the gravity of the situation, additional security forces were called in as reinforcements. Through their collective efforts, the fleeing terrorists were successfully contained after a prolonged gun battle.
The outcome of this operation was the elimination of four TTP militants, delivering a significant blow to the malevolent activities of this terrorist organization. It serves as a testament to the dedication and unwavering resolve of the Balochistan CTD and security forces in their relentless pursuit of peace and security in the region
