Pakistan's anti-terrorism strategy role model: Air Chief

Air Chief Marshal Sohail Aman on Saturday said Pakistan's anti-terrorism strategy is a "role model for others" and plays a "pivotal role" in dealing with conventional threats and non-state actors. Addressing the seventh Dubai International Air Chiefs Conference in Dubai, Aman asserted that Pakistan's anti-terrorism strategy was not only vital in counter-acting threats, but also a role model for others.
The air force has avoided collateral damage on many occasions in its many anti-terrorism operations, the Air Chief Marshal said. The air strikes are part of a major offensive to clear Taliban and al Qaeda strongholds that began last year in North Waziristan, one of seven Pakistani tribal districts bordering Afghanistan.
