The civilian intelligence apparatus had

received intelligence about such an attack

counterparts a few weeks before the

These are the facts

Poor co-ordination between civilian law-

enforcement and the military is obvious

Question about the security and safety of

the nuclear facilities have suffered get

again. And attack on nuclear facility is

perhaps only a natural and logical

progression of the way the terrorist

masterminds would want this war to move

towardsterrorists with Nuclear weapons ? ?

Henry Clinton said she wants to point that the attackhighlights the continuing threats to the Pakistanigovernment and the 'very important' steps the civilianleadership, along with the military, are taking to root outthe extremists and prevent violence and direct assaultson the sovereignty of the state.

The GHQ attack came as the Army was planning an all

out offensive against the extremists in South Waziristan,a Taliban stronghold tribal region along the border withAfghanistan. (Gordon Brown)

We are going to come [down] heavy on you, InteriorMinister Rehman Malik had said in an aftermath of theGHQ attack.

The Pakistani Cooker NEWSINSIGHT INDIA

The attacks on the military, especially thesuccessful storming of the general headquarters(GHQ), was not the work of "scared "villageboys" and would-be suicide bombers, as

Pakistani analysts have noted, but of hardenedcommandoes (special type of terrorists). Theirlong stand off in GHQ was facilitated partly bythe fact that they hid themselves in and knewtheir way around the warren of underground

tunnels in GHQ meant for the protection andevacuation of Pakistani generals inemergencies, pointing to internal armyconspiratorial aid to these terrorists.

Liaquat Baloch of JI

He said the jihadis killing Pakistans

civilians and military were misguided and

were only doing so because the

Americans were in Afghanistan. It all startswith if the Americans were not in

Afghanistan

Recommendation

The military needs to understand that we NEEDmore counterinsurgency troops, equipment, andtraining. And not tanks, submarines, and otherhigh-priced items which are being peddled.

This is a battle which requires agility, mobility,and lucid minds.


13/15

Despite the militarys past track record with

regard to interference in political affairs and

pursuance of illegitimate foreign policy goals

through non-state actors, Pakistan needs adisciplined, cohesive and efficient today more

than ever before.

Anything less than a full-on counter terrorism

effort from the Pakistani military will attract moreserious challenges tomorrow than those it

confronted yesterday.

Conclusion

The Army and Air Force are carrying out theirduties splendidly. They have cleared swat andare now in the process of eliminating the Talibanfrom South Waziristan. Once these areas arecompletely secured the Taliban will become

history. Despite a BOMB a day, people have notlost hope yet. They believe that it will be oversoon. They understands that Pakistan andTaliban can not co-exist one has to yield andthat is not Pakistan. Since its inception, Pakistanhas been under the Indian threat, a neighborthat is 10 times bigger than Pakistan, so howcan a band of desperados (Taliban) makePakistan do its bidding?
