Military operation in South Waziristan 'imminent' after GHQ attack: Malik | Pakistan Interior Minister Rehman Malik has said that following the brazen terrorist attack on the Army General
Headquarters (GHQ) in Rawalpindi, military offensive against the militants in South Waziristan, a Taliban stronghold, was 'imminent'. "It has been decided,
the civilian leadership has decided, the operation is imminent," Malik told a
foreign news agency in Singapore. Malik said initial investigations suggest that
the GHQ attack was planned by the Taliban, but added that Al-Qaeda's hand could
not be ruled out. "The man who has been arrested, his name is Usman. He's a TTP
(Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan) guy, but we have some indications he is also from
al Qaeda," The Dawn quoted Malik, as saying. In one of the most audacious terror
strikes in Pakistan in the recent past a team of commando trained terrorists raided
the Pakistan Arm's General Headquarters in Rawalpindi on Saturday and took several
hostage inside one of GHQ buildings. 16 people were killed, including eight attackers
in a commando operation which continued for over 20 hours. |
