The government has decided to set up an army cantonment in Swat to counter extremists, caretaker Interior Minister Lt Gen (r) Hamid Nawaz said on Wednesday.
I'll bet Binny's taking the gaspipe. Swat's one of the buffer areas for Chitral. That idiot Mullah Fazlullah's brought the Pak regulars to Binny's doorstep. | He told the media at a local hotel that the decision had been made to deploy troops in Swat on a permanent basis to maintain peace, and eradicate miscreantsÂ’ hideouts.
Responding to a query about the recent Peshawar blast, the minister said investigations were underway regarding the suicide blast, first of its kind in which a female suicide bomber blew herself up in a high security zone in Peshawar. The women triggered the explosive after she was stopped at a checkpost. About the ongoing military operation in Swat, the minister said it was going on successfully, and would culminate after completion of objectives. |
