The terrorists on the run will continue with their sneak attacks and suicide bombings. That is the fact! We have seen increased attacks on both sides of the border when terrorists hits a Ramadan Bazaar killing over 80 innocent civilians; mostly women and children. We saw sniper attacks on Capt. Akash and his team and yesterday’s attack on Jamrud check post. We expect these attacks to continue by the cowards who are on the run. General Campbell, had said, “Both nations face common threats that attack their civilian populations and threaten their long-term development.” “Pakistan will continue to be critical partner in region,” He said. The security forces and the civilian populations need to be vigilant and keep up the pressure on the enemy to neutralize them.
