Pakistan floods 'strain' army's anti-Taliban ops

摘要

The Pakistan Army's capacity to expand operations against the Taliban in the country's tribal areas along the Afghan border has become "strained" weeks after the army was called to lead efforts for providing relief to 20 million victims of floods from the past month, senior Western defence officials have told Jane's.rnWhile Western defence analysts see no signs of the Pakistan Army backing away from locations cleared of the Taliban in a number of campaigns since the 9/11 terrorist attacks, there are growing concerns over its ability to advance further operations.
