Finally US seems to be getting serious about fighting pakistani taliban as well. I hope they go straight for the jugular and not carefor any artificial boundary between afghanistan and pakistan.

DAWN.COM | World | US offers cash rewards for Baitullah Mehsud

WASHINGTON: The United States on Wednesday offered $ 5 million each for information leading to Baitullah Mehsud and for Sirajuddin Haqqani and $1 million for Abu Yahya al-Libi.

What was US waiting for when Pakistan gave them exact coordinates of BM? This reward looks like BS to me.

The American officials said proof of the ties between the Taliban and Pakistani spies came from electronic surveillance and trusted informants. The Pakistani officials interviewed said that they had firsthand knowledge of the connections, though they denied that the ties were strengthening the insurgency.

So whats the point of trumpteing “Pakistan ties with Taliban” if the ties are not strengthening the insurgency? Looks like someone is trying to hide their incompetency and blaming Pakistan.
