RAWALPINDI:
Army chief General Raheel Sharif on Monday reaffirmed the military’s resolve in eliminating terrorism from the country.

According to DG ISPR Major-General Asim Bajwa, the chief of army staff (COAS) said that the Pakistan Army was doing its best to train all Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs) in Pakistan to fight terrorists.

He was speaking at the newly established Counter Terrorism Training Centre at Pabbi Hills, as the first batch of 500 LEAs completed their training under the supervision of  the army.



The batch included 200 police commandos, 200 men from Rangers, FC, Strategic Plans Division (SPD), Anti-Narcotics Force and 100 men from PAF and Pakistan Navy.

Senior military and police officers along with home secretaries of the four provinces were present at the occasion.

“While we train [our men] to fight terrorists, coordination and intelligence mechanisms is a must to preempt cooperation by masses in indicating suspects," remarked General Raheel.


“Let’s join hands, operation must continue fearlessly,” he added.
