Waziristan has become a hotbed for militants after the Bajaur operation, and the situation would worsen if suitable action was not taken, a private TV channel quoted Frontier Corps (FC) Inspector General (IG) Major General Tariq Khan as saying on Wednesday. According to the channel, the FC IG said the border areas of Kohat and Peshawar had been evacuated, adding that another 7,000 officials would be recruited in the FC. He said the salaries of FC personnel were less than those of army officials, and "the funds for the operation allowance of the FC officials has not been released so far". Posted by: Fred 2009-01-29 |
