RAWALPINDI, Feb 24 (APP): A terrorist was killed on Friday during an intelligence-based operation (IBO) conducted by the security forces in Awaran district, Balochistan on a credible lead with regards to the presence of a hideout of terrorists involved in recent improvised explosive device (IED) attacks in the area.
