Owing to the timely action of the security forces, the banned terrorist organization TTP failed in its nefarious designs in the urban areas. To cover up its failure, the TTP forced and targeted the poor people of the tribal areas for kidnapping for ransom and target killing.
Besides, at least 20 infiltration attempts in Bajaur, Dir and Chitral areas were thwarted due to timely intelligence. A TTP network targeting Chinese citizens has been bushed in Besham. The terrorists involved in the Besham attack are facing cases in the courts.
Security forces ambushed the terrorists during infiltration from the Zhob border in which seven terrorists were killed and two others arrested. Twelve terrorists were ambushed in an intelligence-based operation in DI Khan and Tank.

During the last month, two suicide bombers, including an Afghan citizen, were arrested along with their handlers while infiltrating and their suicide jackets were also recovered. During the successful operation, the security forces recovered a large quantity of arms, ammunition, explosives, including four suicide jackets and 14 IEDs, from Balochistan.
In Quetta, security forces foiled TTP's big plan to carry out attacks during Muharram and eliminated the terrorist network. The TTP leadership has become distraught and panicked by the attacks by the security forces. With the full support of the nation, the security forces are determined to eradicate terrorism from Pakistan. There is no place for the TTP or any other terrorist group on the soil of Pakistan.
