Pakistan's PM Vows to Uproot Terrorism After Militants Kill Senior Army Officer
Pakistan's restive Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, widely regarded as a hotbed of terrorism in the country, has witnessed a series of militant attacks in recent months.
Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Wednesday vowed to uproot terrorism from the South Asian nation following the death of a high-ranking Army officer on Tuesday.
"Deeply saddened by the martyrdom of Brig Mustafa Burki & other soldiers. Our brave sons of the soil have laid down their lives protecting the country from the enemy forces. Terrorism will be uprooted as it is against the very idea of Pakistan. My condolences to bereaved families," Sharif tweeted.
A day earlier, the Pakistan Army's media wing, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), wrote in a statement that Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) officer Brigadier Mustafa Kamal Barki had died in a gun battle with militants in South Waziristan.
"Brigadier Barki and his team put up a valiant resistance against the terrorists during the encounter and the officer sacrificed his life for the peace of the motherland," the ISPR statement said.
Barki is the second senior ISI officer to be killed by militants this year.
In January, Naveed Sadiq, the director of the Counter-Terrorism arm of Pakistan's intelligence agency, lost his life in an exchange of fire with militants in the Khanewal district of Punjab province.
Pakistan has experienced a massive spurt in terrorist activity since November after Tehreek-e-Taliban (TTP)* unilaterally ended its ceasefire with the federal government.
While the TTP has targeted Pakistan's other provinces, the proscribed Islamic militant group has carried out a series of attacks in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
Among the deadliest attacks that have taken place in Pakistan in recent years was the
suicide bombing of a mosque in Peshawar, the capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on January 31st. The bomb blast ripped through the wall of the mosque and left over 100 dead, including scores of policemen.
Last month, two Pakistani soldiers were killed by militants in South Waziristan.
