Pakistan Army eliminate ISIS - Pakistan leadership in Balochistan mountains

QUETTA: Pakistan Army along with the Intelligence Agencies has been able to eliminate the ISIS-Khorasan cum Pakistan leadership gathered from across the country to plan major operations in the entire country.

Pakistan Army foiled a major terror plot and killed 12 hardcore ISIS terrorists Commanders in Balochistan’s Mastung district, said the Inter-Services Public Relations. 

According to Pakistan Army’s media cell, the security forces conducted an Intelligence-based Operation in Splinji area of Mastung during the last two days.

The terrorists were hiding inside a cave for planning, coordination and execution of terrorist activities in Balochistan, stated the ISPR press release.

Five security officials including two officers also got injured in the crossfire.

Balochistan - Pakistan's largest province in terms of land area - has been plagued by an insurgency and sectarian killings for several years now. However, security forces have conducted effective operations across the province cracking down on militants.

This has led to a considerable drop in militancy in the province but scattered attacks are still reported at times.
