This Market known as Adam khor Market ( Adam Khor Bazar ) in this market Taliban used to Shaheed Army soldiers and use to hang there bodies but on that day this land was under army boots. there was a myth that no one can enter in Meeran Shah with out TTPs permission but Allah Taala made us to teach them a lesson which they will not be able to forget through out there lives... Long Live Pakistan.

He disclosed nearly 200 Taliban from Mehsud tribe have lost lives as the result of internal fighting. He also said the Taliban had killed the TTP Rawalpindi chief Commander Nadeem Abbas alias Enteqami but his killers have not yet been tried in their Islamic court.
“It is still a mystery as to who has killed the members of central council Asmatullah Shaheen Bitani and Tairq Afridi,” he asked.

AFTER a considerable silence, the military has spoken about the ongoing operation against TTP militants in North Waziristan.
Going by the statistics released by the army on Wednesday, it appears that a significant number of militants have been killed in Operation Zarb-i-Azb, while the terrorist infrastructure has also been neutralised.
The army says 910 suspected militants have been killed since the operation commenced in June while 27 ‘factories’ used to produce IEDs and other munitions have been destroyed. Over 80 troops have also died in the line of duty. The army says it has carried out over 2,200 counter terrorism operations countrywide in the wake of the action in the tribal belt, which is why, it believes, there has been minimal backlash. Indeed, the latter observation is valid — before the operation was launched there were fears that there would be a vicious terrorist backlash against any state action deemed hostile by the militants.
Thankfully, the only major terrorist attack witnessed since Zarb-i-Azb began was the assault on two airbases in Quetta last month. However, the operation will only be judged a success in the long term if the militant infrastructure is permanently dismantled and those with blood on their hands brought to justice.
Meanwhile, the banned TTP has contested the military’s claims, saying only 25 to 30 of its fighters have been killed, adding that its bomb factories had been shifted to ‘safe places’. The militants may be on the run, but a clear victory against them can only be achieved if they are put out of business altogether. For example, despite counter terrorism operations conducted in Bajaur and Swat in the past, these areas have yet to return to complete normalcy.
In a related vein, the US military leadership has offered its own view of the operation in North Waziristan. Senior US generals have said it is “too soon” to evaluate the action in the tribal areas. They have observed that Pakistan will have to “clear, hold and build” the territory that has been taken back from militants.
They have a point. But what the Americans in Afghanistan and the government in Kabul can do on their part is to prevent militants on the run from taking refuge in the areas bordering Pakistan, while the latter must challenge those using its territory to fight Kabul. Most importantly, the US can help Pakistan rebuild North Waziristan in order to help bring the troubled area into the national mainstream.

frankly we dont need the 'stamp of approval' from US Generals. they have failed miserably in afghanistan and iraq leaving behind fractured nations which will take years to recover or break-up into smaller nations (which was the original objective of the US) so that they can never threaten their 'darling' israel.
