An officer of the Inter Services Intelligence (ISI), while leading an encounter against the terrorists from the front, embraced martyrdom on Tuesday while seven other members got injured including two critically, the military said in a statement. The incident occurred in South Waziristan's Angoor Adda locality where Brigadier Mustafa Kamal Barki encountered the hardcore terrorists. The ISPR said that Brigadier Barki and his team put up a valiant resistance against the terrorists during the encounter and the officer sacrificed his life for peace of the motherland.

Brigadier Barki was instrumental in locating and eradicating terrorists responsible for vicious assaults in Pakistan, including the Army Public School (APS) attack in Peshawar. He received his commission in the esteemed Frontier Force Regiment of Pakistan on October 12, 1995. The late officer is survived by his spouse, daughter, and son. The nation mourns the loss of their fallen hero, as he is honoured for his bravery and sacrifice. Pakistan's security forces have conducted numerous operations against terrorism across the country, not only arresting terrorists and their facilitators but also foiling several attacks during the last three months. In January, two ISI officials — Director Naveed Sadiq Sial and Inspector Nasir Abbas — were martyred in a gun attack at a roadside restaurant in Pirowal area of Khanewal. A little-known terrorist group calling itself Lashkar-e-Khorasan had immediately claimed responsibility, but the outlawed Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) later claimed that the deadly attack was carried out by its “secret squad”.
