RAWALPINDI: An Afghan national involved in terrorism inside Pakistan was killed during an operation conducted by the security forces in general area Datta Khel of North Waziristan on Jan 6.

The individual was later identified as Luqman Khan alias Nusrat (Afghan national), son of Kamal Khan, resident of Spera District, Khost Province, Afghanistan.

The Interim Afghan government authorities are being approached to take the body of the individual, being an Afghan citizen.

Such incidents are irrefutable evidence of involvement of Afghan nationals in terrorist activities in Pakistan. Interim Afghan government is expected to fulfill its obligations and deny the use of Afghan soil by terrorists for perpetuating acts of terrorism against Pakistan.
