ISLAMABAD, 16 July 2021, (TON): The military said “security forces have rescued five workers of a private cellular company who were abducted by terrorists nearly three weeks ago in Kurram tribal district.”
The labourers were rescued in an intelligence-based operation (IBO) which came two days after a young captain and a sepoy were martyred in a gunfight with terrorists during an earlier attempt to free the abductees.
According to a statement issued by the military’s media wing, 16 labourers working at a mobile tower site in Kurram tribal district were abducted by unknown terrorists on June 26.
A day later, 10 of them were released while the body of the eleventh was found in the region.
The ISPR said “to rescue the remaining five abducted labourers, security forces launched a series of intelligence-based operations (IBOs) in the highly inhospitable terrain under extreme weather conditions.”
It added “the terrorists were continuously tracked and pursued.”
