According to the latest report from CNN on the ousting of the Taliban from Pakistan, the Pakistan army has the Taliban on the run. The Taliban have set up camps in the mountainous region in Northwest Pakistan known as South Waziristan. This region borders Afghanistan and is ideal terrain for the Taliban to hide out and carry out operations.
The army has a strategy for raiding these headquarters. They will attack from three sides and kill as many militants as possible. Soldiers displayed captured weapons and ammunitions. There was also evidence of two laptops and internet access by the Taliban.
There are probably thousands of Taliban hiding out in this mountainous region of Pakistan. Though General Khalid Rabanni of the Pakistan Army states, "It's a professional army and there's no way they can beat us." This is the fourth attempt using similar strategies against the Taliban since 2004.
