US reviewing ‘Swat operation’ as model: Athar Abbas

RAWALPINDI: Director General ISPR Athar Abbas has said that major gains have been made during the eight-year war against terrorism. 'We have managed to break the back bone of terrorists and realizing our successful strategy in Swat, the US is thinking of applying the same strategy in Afghanistan,' he said.

In an interview with a private TV channel here on Thursday he said due to our enormous successes the US is taking a review of the Swat operation as a 'model of success'.

Abbas said that during the eight year operation against extremism 1900 Pakistani army troops have been martyred, 5000 injured, 4000miscreants killed and 3000 have been arrested.

'During during Malakand operation 340 Pakistani army troops including officers have been martyred, 1800 miscreants were killed and 2000 were arrested,' he said.

Athar Abbas said that about 1046 check posts have been set up at Pak-Afghan border for stopping external interference and 100,000 troops are manning the border.

He said that the success of operation in Malakand operation was much more than anticipated. Hower Abbas also said that if the political leadership fails to live up to its responsibilities then all our successes would go to waste. -Online

am hoping to see India, neighbour who uses his influance of being big to help stablize any and all problems and not take advantge of a situation the one like B.D. or any other.

In other word, if u are big, than act like a big brother, it is our culture, our way of living and not what has happened so far.

It was and is my wish. Still no congrats, only objections.
