80 foreign militants still in Waziristan, says Gen Safdar
2005-05-21
That's all?
At least 80 foreign terrorists are still present in South Waziristan Agency and the Army will keep chasing them until they are flushed out, a top Army official said on Friday. Lieutenant General Safdar Hussain, who is the Peshawar corps commander and leading troops against suspected Al Qaeda and Taliban-linked militants in tribal areas, told tribal elders during his visit to South Waziristan that there were 80 foreign militants in the area and they were moving in small groups of three or four. However, he did not say that there was any "high value target" among the terror suspects defying the government's writ in the area.
