GEO announcing that the army has declared a curfew in Waziristan and placed army reinforcements between the Afghan border and meshud tribe area. it si also indicating that the operation is about to begin.
May Allah protect our forces and grant them victory against anti state elements.
Inshallah....we must take inspiration from Sri Lanka in defeating the LTTE terrorists, Turkey in taking out the PKK, and Colombia defeating the FARC terrorists.
God bless the Pakistani Army....lets do this and send these Taliban scum to hell
Waaaay to ****ing late. 170 Pakistanis dead in the past 10 days. They should have gone in last month.
Agreed. This is soo sad, 7/8 blasts all over the country in 10 days, countless innocent people died, and now Army is finally waking up to the duty. I really hope and pray they are able to wipe out these psychos.
These maniacs are as well trained as the Pakistani Army and they are all on suicide mission to kill and get killed head-on. This is going to be a true test if Army can handle it.
Both GEO and ARY saying the full operation will start on sunday. Residents are leaving waziristan in droves.
Info about the day, time of the operation should have been kept away from media. Announcing such operations only gives enough time to real terrorist to hide or disappear into the general population.
May Allah Give us Sincere Leaders (Policy makers)
Politician
Generals (in Forces , Army , PAF and Navy)
(who will think for the Greater interests of Pakistan and Pakistani Nation)
What I have observed in Waziristan in 2005--2007 , our Govt was not sincere in irridicating the causes of Terrorism in Waziristan, but many things were just fostering Terrorism and compelling "Warriors by birth" to fight against Pak Army.
Keeping in view the last Swat Operation , I am hopefull , Our Forces will sincerly do operation in Waziristan this time and address the root causes of Terrorism.
The Pakistan army has started moving troops and artillery towards the Taliban militants’ stronghold in South Waziristan, local officials say. They told the BBC that 30,000 troops backed by tanks were moving in on the stronghold of Hakimullah Mehsud, the new head of the Pakistan Taliban.
They are moving from the north, the east, and the west.
A curfew was imposed in the region before the offensive began, following numerous attacks in the past few days.
According to jang news, fighter jets are pounding terrorists hideouts in district ladha and saroki; one security officer has been killed and 2 wounded in critical condition.
**WANA: An operation against militants has begun in South Waziristan on Saturday.
The political administration sources said security forces advancing in different parts of South Waziristan as ground assaults will be supported by air strikes.
According to reports, two security men were killed and five wounded seriously in attacks on security forces in North and South Waziristan. A security official was killed and three in a remote-controlled bomb attack on security forces vehicle in Kalkola area near Jandola. The injured were shifted to Jandola hospital where one person reported in a critical state. Forces have cordoned off the area after the blast.
Meanwhile, fighter jets pounded militants’ hideouts in tehsil Ladha and Sarokai at the start of the operation. Periodic fire was also heard in Makeen.
Massive evacuation of locals is underway due to operation. The residents of these areas are moving towards Peshawar, Bannu and North Waziristan. However, they are facing difficulties because of curfew.
On the other hand, militants attacked a convoy of FC in Razmak area of North Waziristan. One security man was killed and two wounded in the attack.
I would even go as far to say
May Allah protect our forces and grant them victory against anti state AND anti Islamic elements. Because those who kill innocent lifes are not Islamists. They have nothing whatsoever to do with Islam. Islamists (Wahabi's or Salafists) may have extremist interpretation of Islam but still they follow Islam and i Islam you are not allow to kill.
I really hope our troops succeed and innocent peoples lifes are spared.

Aameen to your Dua's
Hope Innocent people are spared , culprits are arrested and killed and As Always our FUJ succeeds.
Sadly a lot of innocent people will be killed, i really hope there is minimal loss of innocent lives. We have been preparing for this attack for months so i really hope that we are better prepared to help refugees as it's going to be really cold in next few months.
It's going to be much tougher than Swat as there are thousansa of foriegn terrorists there, they have been training for years and know the area very well. Locals support will make a huge difference.
Long live Pakistan and long live Pakistan ARMY.
***So where do the plan to displace these people too ?
Displace them from their homes , shouldn't they first make arrangements to home them rather than throwing them into refugee camps and forgetting about them ?
We are "saving " them by evacuating them from their homes but what are the arrangements that have been made for the coming winter months ?
Supplies / homes/food ......is the government going to meet those needs ?
