An amazing job being done right here with operation zarb-e-azb. We are curbing them and are now killing their leaders. This is an amazing achievement and truly thanks go to our pak armed forces who have done soo much for us and have protected us from these monsters as even after inflicting soo many heavy casualties to the enemy, they have been unable to retaliate.
Well clearly ISIS, the biggest and most prominent terrorist group today, is in Pakistan. Right?

PESHAWAR: A key Al Qaeda leader identified as Umer Farooq alias Umer Ustad and Ustad Farooq was killed in a US drone strike along with four others in North Waziristan tribal agency's Dattakhel area on Sunday.
Sources said that a drone fired two missiles at a compound in Dattakhel's Khat Tangi area killing five people and wounding three others. Sources said that a drone fired two missiles at a compound in Dattakhel's area killing five people and wounding three others. The targeted compound was destroyed in the strike.
Ustad Farooq has in the past served as Al Qaeda's spokesman in Pakistan. He wasreportedly the first Pakistani national to be promoted to a leadership position in Al-Qaeda, emerging as its spokesman for the South Asia region in 2009. He is believed to be the operational incharge of Al Qaeda for Afghanistan and Pakistan
Drone attacks are widely unpopular across Pakistan and according to survey conducted in June this year, 66 per cent of the country's citizens oppose these strikes.

Sunday's strike comes a day after the Pakistan military confirmed the killing of wanted Al Qaeda leader Adnan Shukrijumah during a raid at a compound in Shin Warsak area of South Waziristan Agency on Saturday.
North Waziristan is among Pakistan’s seven tribal districts near the Afghan border which are rife with insurgents and are alleged to be strongholds of Taliban and Al Qaeda operatives, among others.
Pakistan's military in mid-June had launched an all-out operation, named 'Zarb-i-Azb', against Taliban militants in the region.
The operation was initiated on June 15 following a brazen militant attack on Karachi's international airport and failure of peace talks between the government and Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) negotiators.
The offensive has driven out over 800,000 residents from North Waziristan and the army says it has cleared 90 per cent of the tribal region. The army says it has killed more than 1,100 militants and lost more than 100 soldiers since the start of the operation.
