Kabul [Afghanistan], Aug 16 (ANI): Five Lashkar-e-Tayyiba (LeT) cadres, including two senior commanders of the terror group, were killed in an encounter with the National Directorate of Security (NDS) and Afghan National Army (ANA) in Dangam district of Kunar province in Afghanistan, sources said.
The joint operation was carried out on Saturday night. The two LeT commanders killed have been identified as Pacha Khan and Akhtar, according to sources.
Pacha Khan was a resident of Shahi Tangai district, Bajaur in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
The LeT terrorists were stationed in Dangam area and planned to attack Dai Kandai post of ANA. Following this, Afghan security personnel launched a counter-offensive in which five LeT cadres were killed and four injured, sources said.
The names of those killed are -- Pacha Khan, Akhtar, Tayeeb Bajouri, Sharafat Bajouri and Mohibullah, they added.
The recent operation yet again substantiates the fact that the Pakistan government and its spy agency, Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), are aiding terrorists in Afghanistan by sending Pakistani youth to create unrest in the war-torn country.
Last month, Pakistani ID cards were recovered from the bodies of terrorists killed in Afghanistan's Kandahar.
Security forces killed five terrorists in Maroof and nine others in Arghistan district of the province, said Kandahar's police chief Gen Tadin Khan Achakzai, according to Khaama news agency.
Some ID cards read names in Urdu, identifying the dead terrorists as Abdul Ghani, Abdul Ghaffar, Sanaullah, Naqibullah, Obaidullah, Abdul Malik among others.
In another attack, 25 Taliban terrorists, including 12 Pakistanis, were killed in an airstrike by NATO Rescue Support in the Takht-e-Pol town of Kandahar. (ANI)

"US will never risk sending its navy to open up Strait of Hormuz”

Sibal argued that the US is unlikely to risk a naval operation to forcibly "reopen" the Strait of Hormuz as the deep-water channel necessary for large vessels lies within Iranian territorial waters. Iran does not need sophisticated long-range missiles to defend this corridor; short-range missiles, torpedoes, and mines can easily sink high-value naval assets.

MEA rejects Pakistan’s statement on India-Canada deal

"We reject this statement made by Pakistan on the matter. India's credentials regarding non-proliferation are impeccable and well recognised by the global community. A country with a well-documented history of clandestine nuclear proliferation can hardly preach the virtues of export controls and proliferation risks. Such ludicrous statements are nothing more than an attempt by Pakistan to distract from its own abysmal record," he said.
