Major Taliban leadership wiped out: Malik
2009-07-07
[Geo News] Interior Minister Rehman Malik claimed wiping out the major Taliban leadership from Swat adding that the security forces' operation in Waziristan is underway against Baitullah Mehsud only. He was worried about the possible Taliban strikes in Southern Punjab meanwhile, he announced he will be presented before UN team to be arrived here for probe into Benazir assassination. Talking to media here, Malik said the gallant Pakistan army carried out successful military offensive in Swat killing the major Taliban leadership and hoped the remaining Taliban will be wiped out soon. Some religious elements are backing Taliban but no madaris or mosque is involved in doing so, he claimed.
