| Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Ashfaq Kayani vowed on Thursday that the Pakistan Army would mobilise all available resources to launch a 'decisive operation' to crush the Taliban. "The Pakistan Army will employ requisite resources to ensure a decisive ascendancy over the Taliban," the ISPR quoted him as saying at the 118th corps commanders' conference held at the General Headquarters (GHQ). The COAS said the army was 'fully aware' of the gravity of the 'internal threat'. "The army has developed full-scale facilities to focus on low intensity conflict related operations," he said, adding that the military was fully prepared to meet conventional threats as well. He said the prevailing security situation required that all elements of national power work closely together to fight terrorism and extremism. Sources said the corps commanders' meeting would continue today, and take up the promotion of brigadiers to the rank of major generals. |
