NWFP Governor Lt Gen (r) Ali Muhammad Jan Orakzai said on Friday that an army operation was the last resort to restore law and order in Swat district. “God forbid, if the situation becomes worse, we may need to launch an operation there,” he said. “They are our own people and we are trying to convince them to give up militancy,” he added. He denied claims that there was no coordination between the security forces engaged in the area.
| The situation is worse: a bunch of goons have kicked the government out and set up shop independently, they've absolutely humilianted the Mighty Pak Army™, making it a laughing stock even outside military circles, and the government isn't going to do squat, since half of it's on the bad guyz' side. |
