Pak confirms anti-terrorist operation in Afghan border areas

Islamabad, Mar 18 (UNI) The Pakistani Foreign Ministry confirmed on Monday that it was conducting an anti-terrorist operation in the border regions inside Afghanistan and has called on "certain elements" of the Afghan leadership to reassess the policy of "patronising" terrorist elements.
Earlier in the day, Zabihullah Mujahid, chief spokesperson for the Taliban-controlled (under UN sanctions for extremism) Afghan government, said Pakistani warplanes had bombed the Paktika and Khost provinces bordering Pakistan overnight, in what appears to be a retaliatory move that followed the killing of seven Pakistani soldiers in a bomb-and-gun assault launched on Saturday in the northwestern Pakistani province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
"This morning Pakistan carried out intelligence-based anti-terrorist operations in the border regions inside Afghanistan. The prime target of today’s operation was the terrorists belonging to Hafiz Gul Bahadur Group, which along with Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), is responsible for multiple terrorist attacks inside Pakistan," the ministry said in a statement.
