Pakistani general gives ultimatum to Mehsud
 | "Don't make me come in there!" |
Lt. Gen. Safdar Hussain, commander of forces in northwestern Pakistan, demanded the unconditional surrender of Abdullah Mehsud, who has emerged as a leader of al-Qaida-linked militants in South Waziristan, near the Afghan border. "Abdullah Mehsud and all the terrorists hiding in Mehsud area of South Waziristan should surrender before Jan. 15 - otherwise a severe military operation will be launched against them," Hussain told a gathering of tribal elders in the northwestern city of Peshawar. | "We're tuning up the drums even as we speak." |
