Pak Army ready to launch targeted operation in NWA

[Edevelop]

ISLAMABAD: After the beheading of 13 Pakistani soldiers by the Taliban in Miranshah, Pakistan Army has decided to initiate a targeted offensive in North Waziristan.

The US has repeatedly demanded that Pakistan launch an offensive in North Waziristan, especially against the so-called Haqqani network. Pakistan has promised to address the US concern on Haqqani network but was reluctant to launch a full fledge operation in restive North Waziristan.

However, after this latest incident against Pakistani soldiers, sources told Online, Pakistan Army has decided to launch a targeted operation in North Waziristan in next few days, which would be completely different from the operation launched in Swat.

Sources said that Army Chief Gen Ashfaq Pervez Kayani in this regard has consulted Pakistan Supreme Commander Asif Ali Zardari in this regard and taken him into confidence.

Sources confirmed that currently three brigades of Pakistan Army are currently in North Waziristan who are fighting against militancy. However, the sources, was reluctant to give the final date of the operation but said it could be any time in next few days and likely before the NATO heads summit meeting in Chicago, which is to be attended by Asif Ali Zardari.

After the military offensive in South Waziristan nearly 3000 militants went into hiding in NWA.

According to sources, as the weather is becoming warmer the militants are coming down from mountains and are attacking the army soldiers.

use more and more air force with LGBs. army guys should be keep at safe distance . we already lost many many lives

 

[BLACKEAGLE]

I remember how extremists were rising in Maan city in southern Jordan, and how they were undermining peaceful civilian life in the city, after months of provocations toward people and the government, JAF blockaded the city and beat the hell out of them, it took only one month, 14 were killed and others were detained. This was in 2002, aftermath, normal life returned as it used to be, after 2004 I spent 4 years of my university studying there. It takes courage to do that, Pakistani army should make a tough action against those extremists who hijacked Islam and justify killing innocents and even soldiers in it's name, it's time to rip off this malignant plant from it's very roots. Enough is enough, those have distorted our beautiful Islam image more than ever before.

Though i respect your passion dont bring Islam into the equation you start the who is the better Muslim argument the terrorist just use it to confuse people.

This is a military operation against criminals that have attacked and murdered civilians, police and the army of Pakistan who will now face the consequesce of their actions.

Hi,

The geography of North Waziristan is a night mare for any 'cleaning' offensive. The enemy is small, mobile and highly adapted to the region. Pakistan army cannot move in with Tanks and heavy armor.

PAF can be used, the JF-17s from Peshawar, but you can only use LGBs and rockets when you know where the enemy is. That's hard, as we don't have spy satellites. So either we have to get intelligence on the 'targets' from ground based human assets (which we may or may not be able to trust), or by flying Reconnaissance flights over the area, like using FLIR equipped Mirages. That takes time, money (jet fuel) and alerts the enemy of an incoming aircraft.

Tough spot. We can spend 100 years doing a 'targeted operation' in North Waziristan and it will still be back to square one. We kill them, they kill our troops, they run away, they re group across the border and keep thriving.

What we need is, cut off all routes in and out of North Waziristan and go all in. Heavy bombing. Carpet bombing.

The realization of just how dangerous this insurgency might become is finally sinking in, albeit belatedly. An already difficult task has been made even more difficult due to the delay.

so in the end, this useless army is nothing but american slave american pawn, and american mercenary

there will be time when public will be fed up with too much of this army crime that the generals will be beaten up if god willing pakistan doesnt break up

being slave of the same terrosist who killed 27 of this army

Why this kolaveri?

 

[Shardul.....the lion]

All the guys say that everybody in waziristan and SWAT has a AK or other guns.

So how will military differentiate between a friendly tribesman and enemy tribesman (suppose a 3-4 tribesman are caught, they will say we are your friends)

Anyways, All the best for your army, and hope they remove both afghani and pakisani taliban from North waziristan and Pakistan.

Excuse my language brother MOD EDIT. If the army was really useless then the TTP Terrorist would be inside our homes kidnapping, raping and killing our loved ones in Karachi, Islamabad and Lahore. Not that it's not happening but if you take out the army then it would be happening in mass quantity! Pakistan army is not a slave. Actually they are very smart. They are playing the right card at a time.

So before you talk **** about Pak Fauj again, just remember that our brave soldiers didn't sacrifice their lives for this day that you are cursing them.

God Bless Pak Fauj and Inshalah they will take out all the Terrorists from Pakistan. Amen!

 

[Pakistanisage]

Forget North Waziristan, Pakistan Army should launch targeted attacks against any Anti-Pakistan Cockroaches/Terrorist throughout Pakistani territory. Most North Waziristanis are Patriotic Pakistanis and should be left alone.

 

[lightoftruth]

all the best I hope for a success ( kill those murderers) .

 

[Rafi]

Death to the takfiri, victory to the Mujahids of Pakistan, the PA.

 

[karan.1970]

Finally PA is realizing that the so called Good Taliban/Strategic assets are not so good/strategic for the well being of Pakistan. Go get them Kayani.. May the force be with you...

I think instead of launching operations Pakistan Army along with the locals of FATA should form a force which will be based on locals(as they were present before) to counter cross border terrorism as well as other internal threats and this same should be done in Balochistan as well. But they should try to provide WORLDLY EDUCATION in MADRASA's like about Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Computer, Biology and English.
