Pakistan said on Sunday a long-planned operation against militants in its troubled south Waziristan region was "imminent" after an attack on the army headquarters. "It has been decided, the civilian leadership has decided.. the operation is imminent," Interior Minister Rehman Malik told Reuters in an interview in Singapore.
He said members of the Taliban and al Qaeda were suspected to be behind Saturday's attack in the garrison town of Rawalpindi. "The man who has been arrested, his name is Usman. He's a TTP (Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan) guy, but we have some indications he's also from al Qaeda," Malik said.
