Rawalpindi GHQ attack underlines terror threat facing Pak: Clinton |
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has said
the ghastly terror attack on the Pakistan Army General Headquarters (GHQ) in Rawalpindi
has underlined the terror threat facing Pakistan. Clinton, who is on a five day
visit to London, told mediapersons here that efforts being taken to root out extremism
from Pakistan were ‘very important’ as the country continues to reel under the
threat, The News reports. Clinton said she wants to point that the attack highlights
the continuing threats to the Pakistani government and the ‘very important’ steps
the civilian leadership, along with the military, are taking to root out the extremists
and prevent violence and direct assaults on the sovereignty of the state. The
attack, in which 10 militants and two top military officers were killed, was the
third major militant strike in Pakistan in a week. The GHQ attack came as the
Army was planning an all out offensive against the extremists in South Waziristan,
a Taliban stronghold tribal region along the border with Afghanistan. |
