MARDAN, September 3: Federal Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar on Saturday said that action against terrorists’ facilitators is underway while escaped militants are taking shelter on Afghan border.
Talking to media after meeting Mardan court blast victims that killed 14 people and wounded more than 50, Chaudhry Nisar said that an impressive decrease has been recorded in terror attacks. He said that Pakistan has raised terrorism issue infront of Afghanistan and United States several times.
He also pledged to tighten up security at a 25-kilometer long border with Afghanistan. The minister said the terrorists are at the verge of collapse as their capacity of hard targets has been neutralized and they are now chasing soft targets in perplexity. He said the militants have the hideous aim of spreading hatred against the state institutions which will be put to a death knell with the courage and unity of the nation. Chaudhry Nisar said with the successful operation Zarb-e- Azb and the support of people and political forces, terrorism is defeated but the facilitators still remain to be taken to task. He urged the nation to remain united and resilient against the terrorist elements who are facing a crushing defeat in the fight. He asked the provincial as well as federal government to monitor the evidence in Mardan explosion as reports pertaining to possible attacks on district court and Warsak Dam were received by the intelligence agencies.-NNI
