Swat military operation

This raised the unanswered fundamental question as to who were responsible for the killings and how those in the police custody were brought back to Buner and killed.It also appeared to be the first case in which bodies of the ìtop commandersî killed in action were found on a road in Buner, blindfolded with hands tied. DG ISPR Athar Abbas, when contacted by The News on Tuesday and informed of the background of what had happened to Maulana Misbahuddin Malikpuri and his young son Abu Saeed, said that the military operation was restricted to Swat while Buner was handled by the Frontier Corps. He clarified that during the press briefings and media conferences, he simply reads the press release sent to him by the Frontier Corps about the Buner operation.

The Effects of Terrorism

Pakistan plays a key and highly conflicted--role in the global war on terror.

militarization in pakistan

"The new Pakistani general [Musharraf], he's just been elected -- not elected, this guy took over office. It appears this guy is going to bring stability to the country, and I think that's good news for the subcontinent." (George W. Bush, 1999)
"In Afghanistan, the freedom fighters are the key to peace. We support the Mujahadeen..." (President Ronald Reagan, Seventh State of the Union Address, January 1988).
The assassination of former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto must be understood in a historical context. Since the late 1970s, successive US administrations have contributed to repealing the Rule of Law, destroying Pakistani institutions of civilian and secular government and instating military rule.
During the Cold War and its aftermath, the repeal of democracy and the militarization of the Pakistani State have served US foreign policy objectives. Pakistan is a geopolitical hub from which US sponsored military and covert intelligence operations have been launched.
Pakistan is part of South Asia, at a strategic crossroads, bordering onto the Middle East, Central Asia and the former Soviet republics and within proximity of China's Western frontier.
Benazir's father, Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, leader of the Pakistan's People's Party (PPP) was deposed in a military coup d'Etat on July 5, 1977, which spearheaded Pakistan into a process of virtually uninterrupted military rule. Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was subsequently executed, in a judicial assassination, on the orders of the US sponsored military junta.
