Army chief says Zarb-e-Azb in its final stages
INPRAWALPINDI - Chief of Army Staff General Raheel Sharif on Wednesday visited front lines in the North Waziristan Agency and reviewed the progress of ongoing operations against terrorism.
Showing satisfaction over gains of operations so far, the army chief appreciated the high morale manifested by soldiers while fighting the terrorists in the most rugged terrain. Talking to troops, he said that the operation Zarb-e-Azb was in its final stages in North Waziristan Agency, and remnants of terrorists who have been squeezed into penny pockets would also be cleared shortly.
General Sharif also oversaw future operations, including Shawal, and directed commanders to ensure that these terrorists must remain cut off from their friends and their outside support. “The enemies of state and their financiers will not find any place in the country and will ultimately meet their justified end,” he added. He said that the success of operation Zarb-e-Azb and sacrifices of the army personnel have been acknowledged by the entire nation.
