North Waziristan operation under serious consideration: Malik | DAWN.COM
ISLAMABAD: Pakistans Interior Minister Rehman Malik on Friday said that the government is seriously considering a military operation in the tribal badlands of North Waziristan, DawnNews reported.
Speaking to reporters upon his arrival at the Karachi Airport, the interior minister said that the tribal region of North Waziristan agency is the hub of terrorists. Malik said that the entire nation was united against the Zaliman, an Urdu term meaning oppressors which he used to describe Taliban militants.
Rehman Malik said that the terrorists had not just attacked 14-year-old schoolgirl Malala Yousufzai, but had attacked the entire nation. He added that the government and military leadership will decide whether there is a need for an operation in North Waziristan.
The interior ministers comments come in the shadow of the assassination attempt on Tuesday by Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) militants on the life of young schoolgirl Malala Yousufzai, who belongs to Swat. Two other girls were also injured in the shooting while Yousufzai, who was shot in the head, is currently on a ventilator.
Doctors say the next 48 hours will be critical for the young girls health. The shooting has drawn condemnation from world leaders and many Pakistanis.
