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.
