Security forces have successfully foiled a major terror plot after an Afghan suicide bomber arrested in South Waziristan during an intelligence-based operation. The operation was conducted in a remote area near the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, where the suspect was found preparing for a suicide attack.
According to official sources, the Afghan suicide bomber arrested in South Waziristan was planning to target a military convoy and key installations in the region. Security personnel recovered explosives, detonators, and maps from the suspect’s possession. The timely action of the forces prevented a potential large-scale tragedy.
The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) stated that the operation was based on credible intelligence about the movement of terrorist elements in the area. The suspect, identified as a foreign national, has been taken into custody for further interrogation. Authorities believe the individual was linked to a banned militant organization operating from across the border.
Local residents praised the swift response of law enforcement agencies, noting that increased security patrols have significantly reduced terrorist activities in the region. South Waziristan, once considered a stronghold for militants, has seen a series of successful counterterrorism operations in recent years.
Officials added that the arrest highlights ongoing threats from cross-border terrorism and the need for continued vigilance along the western frontier. The Afghan suicide bomber arrested in South Waziristan underscores concerns about infiltration attempts from Afghan soil despite repeated assurances of cooperation from Kabul.
Pakistan has consistently urged Afghanistan to take stronger action against groups using its territory to launch attacks. The government reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining peace and stability in the border regions through intelligence-sharing and coordinated security efforts.
With the Afghan suicide bomber arrested in South Waziristan, security agencies continue to tighten surveillance and strengthen counterterrorism measures to ensure lasting peace in the tribal districts.
