The Story in Brief
According to millenniumpost.in quoting the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), Pakistani security forces killed 27 terrorists from the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in multiple intelligence-based operations over the weekend. The operations were conducted in the Datta Khel area of North Waziristan and in Bannu district, both in the restive Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. The ISPR statement said several terrorist locations were targeted. The offensive comes as Pakistan continues its campaign against militant groups operating near the Afghan border.
The identity and exact roles of the killed militants have not been disclosed yet. The TTP has been responsible for numerous attacks on Pakistani security forces and civilians in recent years.
The Indian Opinion
The official figure of 27 killed invites familiar scepticism, some will dismiss it as a typical military press release inflated to boost morale, while others may use it to argue that Pakistan is finally getting tough on terror. Both sides miss the point. The real test is whether these operations reduce TTP's ability to strike in the weeks ahead. Watch for the number of cross-border attacks from Afghanistan in the next month. That number, not the body count, will tell us if the campaign is working.
