RAWALPINDI: Pakistan is fighting the war on terror with its own resources, said the country’s top army officials on Tuesday.

This statement was made during the Corps Commanders meeting at the force’s General Headquarters in Rawalpindi.

Chief of Army Staff General Ashfaq Pervaiz Kayani chaired the Corps Commanders’ Conference. He said that steps will be taken to ensure the safe return of IDPs in Mohmand Agency.

General Kayani also added that the war on terror is being fought in Pakistan’s national interest.

The statement was made just two days after US President Barack Obama’s chief of staff, William Daley confirmed that the United States is holding back some military aid to Pakistan, after a New York Times report had earlier reported $800 million was being withheld.

Referring to the Kurram operation in today’s meeting, Kayani added that the military’s goal is to clear Kurram Agency from miscreants.
The conference reviewed the security situation in the region and the professional skills of the Pakistan Army.

The Corps Commanders were given a comprehensive briefing on the internal and external security challenges faced by Pakistan.
Earlier this month, the Pakistan army said it had launched an air and ground offensive in Kurram region on the Afghan border.
