COAS, Air Chief visit South Waziristan, Taliban attack Ladha
Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Ashfaq Pervaiz Kiani and Chief of Air Staff Air Chief Marshall Rao Qamar Sulaiman have visited South Waziristan, Dunya News reported on Tuesday. Soon after their visit Taliban fired rockets in the area of Ladha. COAS declared 2011 as the year of hope for the people of South Waziristan. On the other hand the rocket attack took place after the COAS and the Air Chief left South Waziristan after inaugurating a basic health unit in Ladha. 4 rockets were fired by taliban but the rockets fell away from the population and therefore no human loss occurred whereas the media team had to hide inside a bunker. Security forces responded to the attack with heavy artillery fires. Earlier the COAS and the Air Chief met with IDP's and tribal leaders. Talking to the media the COAS said that although South Waziristan has been cleared from the extremist groups but still there army would remained deployed in the area.
