Shura and Beautiful Downtown Peshawar
...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (formerly known as the North-West Frontier Province), administrative and economic hub for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border.

Wazoo's operation was a symbolic one and you will witness such operations in future as well. Why did they not launch such operations in Peshawar, Quetta and other areas instead of Waziristan?

"The enemies of the Afghan people, the spy agency in the region, had decided to capture major parts of Afghanistan's soil and create a parallel government, talk from a powerful stance and implement their nefarious ends on the Afghan nation, but they were unaware of the courage of the Afghan people, and they failed," he added.
"Figures show that more than 30,000 enemies [militants] have been killed, at least 2,030 of them maimed, 344 Taliban fighters and 547 suspects have been nabbed

These comments come amid a deteriorating security situation in the country - following a range of major Taliban offensives against Afghan troops particularly in the southern and northern regions.
