Rehabilitation of FATA IDPs almost completed, Pak Army spokesman
MIRANSHAH: Military spokesman  Major General Asif Ghafoor on Thursday said the rehabilitation of internally displaced  persons (IDPs) from the Federally Administered Tribal Areas is almost completed in their native towns in the country's trial belt.
The Director General of the army’s mediawing, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), reiterated that the army will not let extremists resurface in FATA, and the message of peace will be conveyed through the Aman Cup series in Miranshah between Pak XI and UK Media XI.
According to Major General Asif Ghafoor, life is normal in FATA and people have access to all the facilities.
The army organized a cricket match in Miranshah’s Younus Khan Stadium featuring Pak XI and UK Media 11 by Pak Army in cooperation with PCB and PSL’s franchise Peshawar Zalmi in North Waziristan Agency.
Pakistan’s army backed by the Pakistan Air Force launched a major military offensive in 2014 against local and foreign militants in North Waziristan that borders war stricken Afghanistan.
The operation led to significant drop in acts of terrorism in the country.
The army has also supported country’s cricket authorities in their efforts to bring the international cricket back to Pakistan which came to a halt after a militant attack on Sri Lanka team in 2009.
A large number of troops were deployed for Pakistan Super League Final and later a series between the World XI and Pakistan this month.

Musharraf’s statement riddled with self-contradictions

Musharraf’s statement riddled with self-contradictions ISLAMABAD: Former president General (retd) Pervez Musharraf triggered a national level debate when he alleged that the PPP Co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari had masterminded the murders of Benazir Bhutto and her brother Mir Murtaza Bhutto. Musharraf quickly rose to his defence when the finger was pointed at him for the murder of Ms Bhutto. Mincing no words, he said Zardari and some powerful elements in Afghanistan (Hamid Karzai and TTP leader Baitullah Mehsood) were behind the assassination of Benazir Bhutto. The PPP leader was martyred in a gun and bomb attack at Liaquat Bagh, Rawalpindi on December 27, 2007 while leaving the venue after addressing a rally. Musharraf appeared to be clear in his statements, but he may not have realised that it was riddled with self-contradictions, negating his own claims. The plain and simple fact is that being the  president  at that time he cannot absolve himself of his responsi...

US warplanes fly off North Korea coast in new show of force

US warplanes fly off North Korea coast in new show of force WASHINGTON: US bombers and fighter escorts flew off the coast of North Korea Saturday in a show of force against its nuclear weapons program, escalating already sky-high tensions. The hermit state´s foreign minister, meanwhile, assailed US President Donald Trump at the United Nations, deriding him as a "mentally deranged" leader whose threats had increased the chances of military confrontation. Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un have exchanged increasingly bellicose rhetoric in recent days, as international alarm mounts over Pyongyang´s weapons ambitions -- including a hint this week that the country is considering detonating an H-bomb over the Pacific. US bombers have carried out similar flights before, as the United States and the international community struggle to rein in North Korea´s weapons programs. But in a new stage for such show of force operations, the Pentagon stressed this w...
