Top military commander Lieutenant General Asif Yasin fighting militants in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) on Saturday said Pakistan will act against terrorist safe havens, and urged Nato and Afghanistan to do the same. Asif, who is supervising military operations in KP, told reporters that his troops would not leave the area until complete security is ensured.
"We will take action against the terrorists in our area, and Nato and Afghanistan should also take action against them (terrorists) in their area across the border," he said. He was speaking during a visit to the development projects started by Pakistan Army in the Kotkai area of South Waziristan, where the military launched a ground offensive two years ago.
"Pakistan will not tolerate any infiltration in its area. The Afghan government and Nato should not allow terrorists' safe havens in Afghan provinces along the Pakistan border," he said. "Our troops will stay here until complete security is ensured in this area; the Pakistan Army is not going back from the tribal regions," Asif added.
