Panorama BBC - Pakistan's Taliban Hunters

[In arduis fidelis]

The Pakistani city of Karachi is one of the biggest in the world - and now one of the most dangerous. For more than two years, it has seen an onslaught of kidnappings, bombings and targeted assassinations by Taliban militants. The police are now fighting back, but they are understaffed, under-resourced and up against a deadly enemy. More than 160 police officers have been killed in the line of duty in just 12 months. Mobeen Azhar joins Police Superintendent Ijaz and his team of Taliban Hunters as they try to regain control of the city

Police is not responsible for Terrorism related arrests now. Program seems to focus just on police. One cant understand the whole thing without getting the rangers prospective.

This is outdated. The situation is very different now than what it used to be when this Documentary was made. The Journalist makes the TTP out to be such a menace that the Pakistani State cannot confront it. Guess what, once the Rangers were let loose, they hammered the TTP and defeated them in a couple of Months. The Rangers knew exactly where they were, and where their facilitators were hiding.

Although, I do feel sympathy for the Police. One cannot blame them for their lack of funds and the politicization of their department. Such unprofessional drills, i am surprised they were not killed. The Officers and the Jawans looked so unprofessional, not at all trained to take on the likes of TTP.
