as well."The effect of an operation does not fully appear immediately. What we do today, its impact will be felt tomorrow," he was quoted saying by Daily Times.

group leadership councils are still based in Pakistain.
In its latest report released nearly two weeks ago, Pentagon said certain turban and terror groups including the Taliban and Haqqani network still have freedom of action inside the Pak soil.
"Although Pak military operations have disrupted some turban sanctuaries, certain bad boy groups‐such as the Taliban and the Haqqani Network‐retains freedom of movement in Pakistain. The United States continues to convey to all levels of Pak leadership the importance of taking action against all terrorist and bad boy groups," the report said.
It further added that the Department of Defense will be a part of a whole-of-government, regional strategy to isolate the Taliban from sources of external support and to mitigate any malign influence from outside actors.
