| Zardari: Pakistan Cannot Track Insurgents |
| 2010-08-08 |
| [Tolo News] During his visit to London, Pakistan's President said his country's security forces are not able to find the insurgents' havens in Pakistan In an interview with the Associated Press, Pakistani President, Asif Ali Zardari, underscored that in case the foreign forces stationed in Afghanistan share information about insurgent's sanctuaries in Pakistan, Pakistan will take action. Previously top US officials in particular the US Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Admiral Mike Mullen had highlighted that Taliban and al-Qaeda leaders are in safe hideouts in Pakistan's soil. A lack in the information and equipment are the pivotal challenges facing Pakistan government tracking militant's leaders, Mr Zardari said. "I think if we need access to more information, we need more equipment; the drones for example should be under our position and should be given to us," he said. Mr Zardari said the foreign forces fighting insurgency in Afghanistan have better facilities and arms and they should boost helping Pakistan in the fight against terrorism and insurgency. "My army should have use of the drones, so that I don't lose thirty soldiers taking one stronghold with five Taliban in it because the terrain is very difficult," he said. The remarks come some weeks after the WikiLeaks website unveiled more than 90,000 US military secret files on the Afghan war in which Pakistan intelligence's cooperation with the Taliban is vividly noted. The leaked documents have repeatedly been dismissed by the Pakistani military officials. |

| #1 Those drones must be really pissing the terrorists off. All they do is complain. Even the ACLU is all over it, so it must be working. In my view: Increase drone attacks 24/7/365.4 X 10 |
