Is this the start of ‘Save Pakistan’ mission? Let’s hope so.

Pakistan troops rush to Taliban-infiltrated area

PESHAWAR, Pakistan - Pakistani troops rushing to protect government buildings and bridges in a Taliban-infiltrated district just 60 miles from the regional capital were met with gunfire Thursday that killed one police officer, authorities said.
And in the outskirts of Peshawar itself, militants attacked a NATO truck terminal, destroying vehicles and sending a very visual message of their presence.

It was not immediately clear if the gunmen who killed an officer were Taliban militants, but the clash in Buner district is likely to heighten concern about the viability of a government-backed peace deal with the Taliban in northwest Pakistan.

Lets hope order is restored with the minimal loss of life.
