RAWALPINDI: Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Syed Asim Munir has emphasised that terrorists, their affiliates and abettors working at the behest of hostile agenda to destabilise Pakistan will be hunted down until their surrender to the state of Pakistan.

The COAS on Wednesday visited the Sherwangi area near Asman Manza in South Waziristan District where six brave soldiers had embraced Shahadat Tuesday while fighting gallantly against terrorists.
