Pakistan army vows to 'eliminate' terrorism after al-Qaida threat to Mushar
2007-09-20 19:18:00 Pakistan's military vowed Thursday to eliminate terrorism, undeterred by a call from al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden for a rebellion against President Gen. Pervez Musharraf. "We have the aim and objective, as our national duty, to eliminate terrorists and eradicate extremism," army spokesman Maj. Gen. Waheed Arshad said. "Such threats issued through videos or in any other way cannot deter us" from fulfilling that duty, Arshad said. In a new audiotape released Thursday, bin Laden said the Pakistan army's bloody siege of militants holed up in Islamabad's Red Mosque made Musharraf an infidel. The storming of the mosque in July "demonstrated Musharraf's insistence on continuing his loyalty, submissiveness and aid to America against the Muslims ... and makes armed rebellion against him and removing him obligatory," bin Laden said, according to a transcript of the tape released by Laura Mansfield, an American terror expert who monitors militant message traffic.

Pakistan army badly beaten by Taliban
2007-04-21 23:26:00 Pakistan's army suffered losses of 700 killed in its unsuccessful effort to push Taliban and Al Qaeda fighters from Afghanistan out of their tribal sanctuaries in Pakistan, an Islamabad-based journalist reports. That defeat may explain Islamabad's reluctance to resume the struggle. Sherwood Ross comments :"With every incursion, civilian death, and displacement, the Pakistan Taliban grew stronger," writes Graham Usher in the April 16 issue of The Nation magazine, published in New York. The Taliban "defended villages, ambushed army patrols, killed pro-government elders, and imposed their own brand of 'Islamic' law and order." When the army sued for peace with pro-Taliban tribesmen in the Waziristans in 2005 and 2006, it was not because of a new 'holistic' strategy for the tribal areas, as sold by [Pervez] Musharraf to Washington," Usher said. "It was because of the army's military and political defeat.In 56 years of independence, Pakistani soldiers had never set foot in th...
