Qaeda and Taliban active in Waziristan, says Sherpao
2007-06-06
Federal Interior Minister Aftab Ahmed Khan Sherpao on Tuesday said that recent intelligence reports suggested that remnants of the Taliban and Al Qaeda were regrouping and reorganising in Wana and South Waziristan. “Following such reports, law enforcement agencies are in constant contact with the local tribes to ensure that no one would be allowed to destroy peace in South Waziristan, “ he said.

He was addressing a press conference here at a local hotel. Sherpao said a recent meeting of the National Security Council (NSC) was briefed on the situation along the Pak-Afghan boarder, the tribal areas and his recent visit to Afghanistan. “A peaceful Afghanistan will guarantee a strong Pakistan,” he said. He said the joint Pak-Afghan jirga would be held in the second week of August.
