BANNU: In a major breakthrough under the ongoing counter-terrorism framework, Pakistani security forces and the Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) successfully eliminated two terrorists during a joint intelligence-based operation (IBO) in the Bannu district.
High-Profile Commander Neutralized
According to security and CTD reports, one of the slain militants was identified as Mohib Khan alias Sameen, a notorious local commander belonging to the proscribed organization Ittehad-ul-Mujahideen Pakistan (IMP).
Commander Mohib Khan was a high-value target wanted by law enforcement for a long string of heinous crimes. CTD Bannu records confirm he was implicated in 22 separate cases, including grave offenses such as:
-
Targeted killings of law enforcement and citizens
-
Direct explosive and IED attacks on police and security infrastructure
-
Acts of kidnapping and extortion
-
Disrupting public peace through illegal roadblocks and sabotage
Authorities stated that the identification process for the second neutralized terrorist is currently underway.

By dismantling key militant command nodes and neutralizing hardcore perpetrators of violence, the state continues to systematically dismantle terrorist networks in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
