Security sources said forces recovered a large amount of weapons and ammunition during the action. The hideouts used by the group were also destroyed.
President Asif Ali Zardari praised the security forces for the operation. He said the plans of the terrorists’ foreign backers and local helpers would be defeated at any cost.
He also said the whole nation stands behind its forces in the fight against terrorism.
The province has faced rising violence in recent months. Data from the Pakistan Institute for Conflict and Security Studies shows 54 attacks in August, up from 36 in July. That is a rise of 50 percent. These figures do not include the merged districts.
Friday’s action follows several others in North Waziristan this week. Nine terrorists were killed on Thursday, 13 on Wednesday and five on Tuesday. Seven more were killed on October 2.
