The Resolute Support Twitter account announced this morning, "Ali Haider Gilani, Pakistan ex-PM's son, rescued today in Giyan District, Paktika Prov by US Special Ops Forces/AFG Commandos partnered raid." This must have been the much awaited news, particularly for former Prime Minister of Pakistan, Yusuf Raza Gilani, his family
and the people of Pakistan at large.
The combined counterterrorism mission retrieved Gilani from a compound in Giyan district of Paktika province, which borders Pakistan, said a statement from the U.S military in Kabul. We, at USCENTCOM, congratulate the Afghan and US team that conducted this mission,
and for sending a clear message to the enemy that no matter what, we will eventually catch up with you.
