RAWALPINDI: Pakistan's army chief General Ashfaq Pervez Kayani vowed Monday that terrorists would not be allowed to take advantage of the military’s support to the political process.
“While it is understandable to give peace a chance through a political process…no one should have any misgivings that we would let terrorists coerce us into accepting their terms,” a statement issued by the Inter Services Public Relations quoted Kayani as saying. “(The) Army has the ability and the will to take the fight to the terrorists.”
The military chief’s statement follows four attacks on security forces by Pakistani Taliban militants in the past two days despite the country’s political leadership’s unanimously deciding earlier last week to hold peace talks with the militants.
At least six security personnel were killed in the four separate attacks for which the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) claimed responsibility. One of the attacks, a roadside bomb in Upper Dir near the Afghan border, killed three army men including Maj-Gen Sanaullah Khan Niazi and Lieutenant Colonel Tauseef Ahmad.
