Army to remain in tribal areas till 2019, NA body told
2015-09-04
[DAWN] Talking to media personnel after being briefed by military officials on the progress of 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!)...
Thursday, NA Standing Committee on Defence Chairman Rohail Asghar said Pakistain Army will remain in the country's tribal areas till 2019.

The PML-N MNA went on to say that several abettors of holy warriors had also been held or eliminated during operations, adding that it won't be a "big deal" if politicians are tossed in the calaboose
... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not...
as a result of operations.

"Nothing is more important than Pakistain," said Asghar.

Asghar said around 64,000 internally displaced people had returned to their native towns in the tribal region so far.

He said some Talibs had fled to Afghanistan, while others had joined the self-styled Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
for material gains.
Better pay or better loot?
Asghar said despite the tough terrain in Shawal, forces were fearlessly making advances and making Zarb-e-Azb a success.
