Dring the early hours of 2nd April 2022, Saturday, Pakistani Security forces carried out Intelligence Based Operation (IBO) in Maddi area, Tehsil Kulachi of DI Khan. In this joint operation where CTD department of KPK police also took part, security forces eliminated 3 wanted terrorists.  Weapons were recovered from dead terrorists.

These terrorists, according to security forces, were involved in attack on FC Tank camp, polio teams, kidnapping and raid on security forces. Terrorists belonged to TTP Gandapur group.

The neutralized terrorists have been identified as following;

1. Kamal alias Kamali
2. İhsan
3. Salim

IBOs are part of comprehensive anti-terrorism strategy devised by the state of Pakistan under the Operational Radd ul Fassad. So far security forces have eliminated scores of terrorists, both domestic and foreign funded, through these operations. But at the same time, the security forces of the country had to bear loss of lives as well. Pakistan is in the process of sealing its borders with Iran and Afghanistan with the help of thousands of kilometers of fencing and building thousands of check posts along the border to man these previously porous borders. These tactics have helped in curtailing terrorists incidents in big cities but low frequency high intensity sophisticated terror incidents have emerged as new pattern in the country and as a new challenge for the security forces.
