Pakistan has sought swift and effective military action by US forces against the fugitive leader of Swat Taliban Maulvi Fazlullah and hundreds of his followers, who have taken refuge in Afghanistan and were involved in the failed assassination attempt on Malala Yousafzai.
The vital issue of military action by US forces against Fazlullah’s group was raised by Pakistani authorities with US Special Representative Marc Grossman, who concluded his two-day visit to Islamabad on Sunday.
Ambassador Grossman had detailed discussions with Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar and Chief of Army Staff General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani on various issues of mutual interest and it was during these talks that Pakistan’s civilian and military leaders took up the attack by militants on Malala, the 14-year old education activist.
“Grossman was told that this group of Taliban led by Fazlullah had become a major source of concern for Pakistani authorities.

      You may be making the case in Karzai's advantage …
      Haqqani is more valued to Pakistan than Fazlullah is to Afghanistan …
      He would take the deal …

      Like it or not, 'strategic asset' game is expanding …
      It's like drowning in one's own blood …

  1. it looks now, very few real taliban left! most of these terrorists anywhere are assets to one and bring terror to the other and vice versa! So I guess fighting war are just sham. If the real players sit together and make a deal, that will sort this mess out! Thats the reality, fighting is only going on to prove who can cause more damage to get more leverage at the table later!
