Pakistan planning South Waziristan offensive: US WANA: Pakistani warplanes bombed a stronghold of Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) leader Baitullah Mehsud in the South Waziristan tribal region on Saturday, witnesses and intelligence officials were reported as saying by Reuters.
The air strike came amid mounting expectations that the army will launch an offensive in the region long regarded as a hotbed of Taliban and al-Qaeda activity, as the army enters the final stages of another offensive in the Swat valley, further to the northwest and closer to Islamabad.
Four fighter jets bombed parts of Makeen early on Saturday but we dont know about the extent of damage or any casualties, said Mohammad Khan, a shopkeeper in the village at the heart of Mehsud territory.
