You may remember this deadline from June, if we not act.
US gives Pakistan deadline till July for North Waziristan operation to capture five terrorists
The US has demanded Pakistan to arrest the five most wanted criminals, which according to US are hiding in North Waziristan. The list includes; Mullah Muhammad Omar, Ayman al-Zawahiri, Ilyas Kashmiri, Sirajuddin Haqani and Atia Abdur Rehman.
US have given a deadline till July to arrest these most wanted criminals either in a unilateral military operation or joint operation with NATO. The NATO and allied forces are in Afghanistan under a mandate, which will expire in July and after that the forces will start leaving Afghanistan.
So far the Pakistani Forces and establishment has shown reluctance in launching operation in North Waziristan even under the continuous pressure from US, the possible reasons behind this could be following;
The Haqani militants based in North Waziristan are not harmful to Pakistan rather they serve as the vital link between Pakistani Intelligence agencies and the Afghani Talibans.
In North Waziristan many pro-government groups, like the one lead by Mullah Nazir and other lead by Hafiz Gul Bahadur, are present, which helps the government. This can be the other possible cause of reluctance of military operation, because groups like these have helped the security forces to fight against the anti-government tribal fighters.
