Any decision on NWA will be based on national interest: FO

ISLAMABAD: Reiterating the country’s resolve to fight terrorism, the Foreign Office on Friday said, even though it understands the concerns of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), any decision with regard to North Waziristan would be based on “judgment, keeping in mind our capacities, priorities and overall national interest”. “This in no way should be interpreted as a lack of Pakistani resolve to fight terrorism”, an FO statement issued on Friday said. “Being cognisant of the threat and environment, the Pakistan Army has conducted calibrated operations against terrorists. It has conducted large-scale military operations in various parts of FATA and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to disrupt/incapacitate al Qaeda and its affiliates,” the statement said. app
