ISLAMABAD: Major General Zafarullah Khan on Wednesday said that 80 per cent of Miramshah has been cleared during the North Waziristan operation, adding that outlawed Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan commander Hafiz Gul Bahadur, if spotted, would be eliminated without any delay.
The general further said that evidence of Al-Qaeda’s presence in the region was found and the army was still facing opposition from some areas.
The army official maintained that the civilian population was not targeted during the operation. This information, however, could not be independently verified.
