Pakistan's Defence Minister Khawaja Asif said on Saturday that the army has eliminated the terrorists' command and control centre in the North Waziristan.
The Dawn quoted Asif, as saying: "The state will go after the terrorists in all provinces."
Asif's statement came a little over a month after the launch of a full scale military operation in North Waziristan.
The Pakistan Army's Operation Zarb-i-Azb in the militancy-infested region was launched nearly a week after the attack on Karachi's Jinnah International Airport in order to wipe out longstanding bases of the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and other militant groups.
The semi-autonomous tribal area on the Afghan border has for years been a hideout for several militant groups including Al-Qaeda and the TTP as well as foreign fighters such as Uzbeks and Uighurs.
