Pakistan on yet another crackdown on militancy
But Pakistanis, who have witnessed similar actions peter out after violent attacks in the past, are not convinced
Islamabad, Pakistan
HUMILIATED by a spate of suicide bombings that shattered official claims of winning the war on terrorism, Pakistani authorities have launched a sweeping retaliatory offensive across the country since Friday, hunting and killing more than 100 suspected militants, pledging to "liquidate" all terrorists and placing security forces on high alert.
Pakistan has also accused Afghanistan of harbouring the armed groups believed to be behind most of the bombings and demanded that Kabul take action against them.
