Frontier Corps chief: no Talibs around Quetta, nope, nope
Frontier Corps chief General Nawaz denied US accusations that Taliban leadership was based in and around Quetta, saying Washington was looking for an excuse for the difficulty it was facing with an intensifying Taliban insurgency.

"These allegations have been levelled in the past," he said. "They had been dying a death but lately they have started again. In my view, whatever is happening in Afghanistan, if they are not succeeding, there has to be some escape route."

The United States had handed over no information to back up its assertion regarding the "Quetta shura", he said. "If they have any evidence -- which they have not given us a bit of until this moment -- they should share it with us. Pakistani forces are quite capable of sorting them out," he said.
"Trust us!"
General Nawaz said it was impossible for Taliban leaders such as Mullah Omar to go unnoticed. "If he has to move, or if their leadership has to move, they have to move with some paraphernalia, they need to make some arrangements," he said
