Our army is fighting the terrorists and the terrorists have the advantage to appear, attack and disappear from anywhere, unlike conventional warfare where the whereabouts of the enemy are known.

It’s not to sprinkle salt on the wounds of the internally displaced people of Swat and the FATA, but it’s  a fact that these people are somewhat responsible of what they are reaping these days. Had they stood up to the raging Taliban earlier in their areas and had they not adopted collous and cynic [...]

During his recent visit (14 Nov) to  South Waziristan  Chief of Staff General Ashfaq Kayani  has announced  that social developmental projects  be  undertaken  for  the welfare of common people  in the  area  under  Army supervision.

In recent days, multiple suicide attacks in cars have happened at crowded places aimed at maximum damage which [...]
