A list of those martyred and injured in firing by the Afghan Taliban on the civilian population of Bajaur has been released.
According to the deputy commissioner, three women and six children were martyred in the firing on the civilian population in Bajaur. Mortar shells were fired from Afghanistan into Mamond and Salarzai during March and April. The release of the complete list leaves no room for doubt regarding the Afghan Taliban attacks.
The Pakistan Army targeted only Afghan Taliban military posts and gun positions. The repeated targeting of women and children by the Afghan Taliban points to their brutality. Under Operation Ghazab Lil Haq, a continued response was given to Afghan Taliban actions. The leadership of the Afghan Taliban has been exposed before the world. The local population of Bajaur has expressed deep grief and anger over the unprovoked shelling by Afghan forces.
