The Pakistan army for the first time announced that the Haqqani network in North Waziristan is also a target of the current military operation.

"For the military, there will be no discrimination among Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) groups or Haqqani network, all terror groups are going to be eliminated," DG ISPR Major General Asim Bajwa told a briefing at GHQ.

He said so far 327 terrorists and 10 security personnel have been killed.

The DG ISPR confirmed the presence of a large number of Uzbeks and other foreign militants in North Waziristan, saying that they will all be wiped out.

"The Pakistan Army has requested the Afghan military to take action against terrorist hideouts in Kunar and Nooristan, but so far there has been no action taken," General Bajwa said.

The chief military spokesman said it is solely a Pakistan Army operation and not a joint Pak-US military offensive, adding that Pakistani security forces are capable of doing such an operation.

"North Waziristan has become a hub of terror and suicide attacks in the country because planning of such attacks was taking place here," Bajwa remarked.

He dispelled the impression that the operation was launched without political approval and said, "The operation was launched after a decision was made at the political level."

On Wednesday Prime Minister’s Adviser on National Security and Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz said security forces were conducting the operation against militants without discrimination.

WTF??? How can this be true? Really no distinction b/w good and bad Talibaan? Even those whom the US considers as 'not enemy'??
 
If true, this is very good news for the entire region. Simple point is that all weaponry which is used primarily by military should be only with them (I mean in large numbers, not one or two as I am aware Pakistani's do have lot of weapons with civilian population). One cannot allow tribes and others to have their own Army. Even if the people are good, they cannot have weapons and Army.
 
If it's true then it's a remarkable move...soon Pakistan's image will be good in world.
 
Is Pakistan finally coming to terms with the reality, that it can not control Afghanistan with proxies..and finally doing what it should have done in the first place?

Haqquanis today.. LeT and JuD tomorrow. Our dear Pakistani members here do not realize that the 900 million USD aid and the promise of Russian Gunships do not come without attached strings :)

Of course it can control Afghanistan with proxies. We're just re-locating them all to our forward operating bases in Afghanistan. Our proxies haven't been on their best behaviour as of late. How's the Indian diplomatic mission faring in Kabul? Won any new recruits to wage war against Pakistan? Fazlullah's been awfully quiet lately, as has that parrot...Shahidullah Shahid.
 
Kill them all, Pakistan will be stupid to support any kind of Taliban.
