SSG commando, who embraced SHAHADAT on 17th May 2009 in Peochar Valley, Swat.
Captain Bilal Shaheed told his best friend and his room mate, Captain Raheel that Bilal would be a Shaheed and Raheel is a Ghazi. He said so on night of 15 May 2009 while he was preparing for his most exigent task in high mountains of Peochar valley. Captain Raheel’s eyes often get filled with tears but still he maintains a soldierly composure and pride while narrating the proceedings of the last night. Captain Bilal Shaheed, who was just back from a successful operation in Buner On 5 MAY 2009, got the message from his commanding officer that he had been earmarked for a difficult task in Peochar valley (Operation Jahanbaz).

It was important for Special Services Group (SSG) to open Swat – Peochar road which was essential for their further operational sustenance. It was crucial to capture Ghuzano Sar Top (now Bilal Top) for the success of entire operation. Previous efforts to capture this Top could not succeed. Captain Bilal Shaheed very happily received this warning order and got busy in preparations alongwith his company commander and fellow officer ; both were also picked for this operation. While preparing very minutely for the mission, he also kept taking with Captain Raheel. He told Raheel to personally go to his home and inform his mother in case he meets Shahadat.

He also told him to lead his Janaza prayer. Captain Bilal, while tying up his backpack, also told Raheel that his dead body should be shrouded in Pakistani flag. He should be buried with full military honour and ceremony. Later he also packed his all belongings in the room. Surely Bilal knew about the golden tomorrow which would place him on high pedestal reserved for those who sacrifice their lives for the safety and security of their motherland. In the spell of those unique moments and out of his sheer love for Pakistan Army, Bilal sent a message to Captain Raheel from his cellular phone. He told him to read it once he had gone for the mission.

The message which now in circulation among all cellular phone holders in Pakistan is spreading like a fire reads, “

In da Roars Of Bullets..........in da thunder of bombs.........There are a few who just don't stop......knowing dat dey r surrounded by death,..........,..........knowing dat dey could leave their wives widow nd children "DEATH B4 DISGRACE PAK ARMY!ZINDABAD!!!"
