Pakistan Counter Insurgency

Ayaz Gul / Raza Naqvi The United States has long maintained that Pakistan's tribal territory is the main source of cross-border militant attacks into neighboring Afghanistan. But Major Gen. Athar Abbass, talking to VOA,dismisses these charges, claiming the Pakistan military has secured most of the lawless region within the past three years. The military says its counter-insurgency campaign is now trying to uproot the remaining pockets of resistance. According to USIP's Moeed Yusuf, the Pakistan army may well act in North Waziristan as well, but not in the manner wished for by the US. He said the Pakistani army lacked the capacity for a successful operation, and going into North Waziristan did not suit Pakistan's Afghanistan policy. But even in the tribal agencies in which action has been carried out, critics are saying that the Pakistani army has failed to consolidate gains.
