Pakistan PM: Zarb-e-Azb operation to continue
The Pakistani security forces launched its Zarb-e-Azb operation against militants in North Waziristan on June 15, shortly after a terrorist attack at Jinnah International Airport in Karachi, which killed 28 people.
Imran Khan has been a proponent of peace talks with the Pakistani Taliban.
Horrific accounts of the attacks here from AFP:
“I was sitting in the corridor with 10 of my classmates when we heard firing. We immediately ran towards the classroom to hide there but the militants chased us down and found us. They were dressed in shalwar kameez and the only thing they told us is: ‘read the kalma’,” said Ali, remorsefully adding that he was the only one of his 10 friends that survived the attack.
