U.S. resumes drone campaign in Pakistan

 12 January, 2012 07:25:00
Pakistan army chief Kayani is not against drone strikes, which for him, are no more than outsourcing security drill in Waziristan. His anti-American plank is more a reaction to CIA planting hundreds of Raymond Daviess to keep tabs on ISI, and to CIA using Ambassador Haqqani for visas to these Davies without GHQ knowledge. This the reason why Americans have shown no undue concern over the coup rumours and give the impression of going along with the Pakistani concerns....

Bonn II - Why Afghans are not going gaga..?

 16 December, 2011 09:45:00
Much water has flown into the Kabul River in the past decade. The Taliban, far from being vanquished’, is very much in the reckoning. The US is battered by the dollar meltdown and is working over time to quickly pull out of the country. And it is doing the unthinkable, at least after the 9/11. It is trying to reach out to the Taliban for a political solution to the Afghan imbroglio and to mainstream the Taliban in the process. ...

Action Against Haqqanis -Key to Success in Afghanistan

 21 July, 2011 08:18:00
The Haqqanis belong to Zadran tribe, which are mostly based in Paktia and Khost provinces of Eastern Afghanistan. However, their support base has always been in the FATA's Northern Waziristan, where they run a number of Madrassas and training camps but operate mainly in South-Eastern Afghanistan, and provinces further North towards Kabul. The dreaded network is reportedly preparing for alternative safe haven for itself in Kurram Agency. Pakistan army holds the Haqqani Network, like the Taliban, as its reserve asset for the endgame in Afghanistan....

U.S, Pak planning ‘clandestine’ counter terrorism in N Waziristan

 05 June, 2011 03:50:00
‘Operations’ and ‘talks’ running on parallel tracks will undoubtedly bring the U.S. and the Pakistani military closer. Larger defence package for Pakistan, if materializes as expected, will be a natural corollary.
