Pro-Taliban militants in Pakistan (file photo)

Pakistani security forces have killed at least 80 suspected pro-Taliban terrorists and injured nearly 100 others in the northwest of the country near the Afghan border.

A Pakistani military source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said on Saturday that seven soldiers have been also killed in the Tirah Valley of Khyber tribal district.

Military jets have dropped bombs over the region, known to be a home to the Pakistani pro-Taliban militants.

Pakistan has intensified its anti-terror campaign following a December 16, 2014, attack on an army-run school in the city of Peshawar, which claimed the lives of about 150 people, mostly children.

The militant group, Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it was carried out in retaliation for an ongoing Pakistani military offensive against the militants in the country’s tribal belt.

The militant groups in Pakistan have carried out numerous attacks against Pakistani security forces and civilians.

Many Pakistanis have lost their lives in bombings and other militant attacks in the country since 2001, when the Pakistani government entered an alliance with the US in its so-called war on terror.

There seem to be a large number of takfeeris trapped in Tirah. Talis are getting aid from Afganistan's border areas.

Last what i heard, they are trying to encircle them fully and trap them, cordon of their escape routes. Takfeeris are loosing numbers by the dozens, there have been pictures posted online of PA filling trucks with their corpses and taking them away.

Initial casualties were unexpected as the horde of them attacked a lightly defended ridge, despite the odds PA managed to hold that ridge but took many casualties in the process. Reinforcements have arrived, and counter attack has already been launched backed by Cobras and PAF Assets in the Air.

Inshallah we will prevail

Lets not discuss the specifics of the operation here.

But i have been told by a source in the MOD that the reason why Khyber II was launched because there were reports(ISI) that TTP fighters and their commanders were crossing from Afghanistan and massing up for an assault. This is why the Operation was launched in a haste to counter and eliminate them.

But to answer your question without going into the specifics, yes there are many TTP fighters trapped and fighting for their lives trying to break the encirclement and escape back into Afghanistan. There were lorries filled with TTP fighters, that's proof enough they are loosing men, lots of them and fast. The question still stands, whether PA can block their escape routes and effectively encircle and eliminate them?

No quarter, no mercy. Kill the foot soldiers and capture the HVT for information.

On a side note, the same source told me these Takfeeris fighting are absolutely filthy. Its as if they haven't showered for weeks, their teeth are disgusting and grooming is something that looks alien to them.
