Not really surprised Shamraz. In fact, perhaps, it has always been an open secret. But the fact remains that this arrangement has never been acknowledged by the army or the state.

I wonder what stops the army from claiming the credit for settling score with the TTP — you killed our general, we killed your chief. I wonder how heartening it would have been for the rank and file of the army, as well as for the nation, that its military is capable of avenging blood of its men.

Secondly, this policy of ‘track two killings’ leave the nation confused. It also raises questions if the military and the civilian leadership are on the same page or not?

Pakistani military and PAF has more than enough capabilities to stop the drones from flying into Pakistani airspace. So why don’t they?

I will re-post this from another blog.

The Government of Pakistan has consistently maintained that drone strikes are counter-productive… But we don’t actually try to stop them, because after all, we REALLY [want these terrorists] dead.
