Operation Tight Screw is the codename given for a secretive joint military operation which the Pakistan military had claimed they were going to launch to tackle militants in the North Waziristan[2][3][4] that is part of the Pakistan's counter terrorism effort in the North-West of the country.

Background[edit]

At combatant JS HQ, the military operation has long being planned in the North Waziristan agency but was delayed due to limited resources.[5] Terrorists chiefly belonging to TTP group moved to hideouts in North Waziristan agency after military operations were conducted in Kurram, Orakzai and South Waziristan regions adjacent to North Waziristan.[6][7]
