claimed Thursday that a large portion of North Wazoo had been cleared in Operation Zarb-e-Azb
..the Pak offensive against Qaeda in Pakistain and the Pak Taliban in North Wazoo. The name refers to the sword of the Prophet (PTUI!)...
Holding a presser, the ISPR front man further said the operation is progressing successfully, adding that Operation Khyber-1 is also underway with full force.
Talking about the Beautiful Downtown Peshawar
...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (formerly known as the North-West Frontier Province), administrative and economic hub for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistan's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire.
school carnage, he said the attack was ordered by Tehrik-e-Taliban (TTP) Chief Mullah Fazlullah
...son-in-law of holy man Sufi Mohammad. Known as Mullah FM, Fazlullah had the habit of grabbing his FM mike when the mood struck him and bellowing forth sermons. Sufi suckered the Pak govt into imposing Shariah on the Swat Valley and then stepped aside whilst Fazlullah and his Talibs imposed a reign of terror on the populace like they hadn't seen before, at least not for a thousand years or so. For some reason the Pak intel services were never able to locate his transmitter, much less bomb it. After ruling the place like a conquered province for a year or so, Fazlullah's Talibs began gobbling up more territory as they pushed toward Islamabad, at which point as a matter of self-preservation the Mighty Pak Army threw them out and chased them into Afghanistan...

, nine were killed whereas six were still being hunted down. He also said most of the Death Eaters were Pak nationals.
He said one of the Death Eaters Taj alias Rizwan had six men under him -- three of whom were killed by security forces during the siege at the army-run school, while the others were killed during military action in North Waziristan.
The DG further said six of the 12 arrests were made from Afghanistan and expressed his thanks to the Afghan government for their assistance in improving border coordination.
Bajwa said they were confident that all the remaining Death Eaters would be arrested at the earliest. "Mullah Fazlullah and Aurangzeb alias Omar Ameer are currently in Afghanistan and they will be captured soon. Intelligence agencies are working on this in a very focused manner."
In response to a question, Bajwa said Fazlullah's arrest was being discussed fervently. "He is a known terrorist, his capture and handover to Pakistain are being discussed with the Afghan leadership and we are hopeful that we will hear a quick response from them in this regard."
The ISPR front man revealed that a myrmidon commander named Hazrat Ali collected funds to carry out the APS attack. "Terrorists formed a base in the house of a local mosque holy man near the school," he said.
He also claimed that running a large organization like the TTP and having sufficient funds for its sustenance was not possible without international funding.
