GWADAR : Finally, in Gwadar, security forces have been able to thwart an attempted terrorist attack on an empty camp of a construction company, in which seven terrorists were killed in a quick and coordinated counter-operation.

The military was very vigilant in intercepting the attackers, security sources said. The number of terrorists neutralised after the initial engagement was expanded in search and engagement operations to three more terrorists killed on the spot. Meanwhile, security forces also struck militant groups who had taken shelter inside a hotel close to the Gwadar highway, and carried out thorough clearance operations to make the area safe from the threat of improvised explosive devices (IEDs).

The key highlights of Gwadar Operation and Security Response are as follows:
Terrorists failed to cause any harm to the infrastructure or to personnel at the construction camp, thanks to the prompt reaction of intelligence and quick tactical deployment.

Security forces are conducting continuous clearance and IED sweeps over the landscape and other buildings in the vicinity, to ensure the safety of the area and any potential threats are neutralized.

Naqvi, however, reiterated the government’s determination, saying that counter-terrorism operations will go on relentlessly till the time when terrorists and facilitators will be completely wiped out.
