Pakistan: Military convey attacked as Clinton pushes for assault Islamabad, 19 July (AKI) - Syed Saleem Shahzad - As American US secretary of state Hillary Clinton pushed for action against the North Waziristan-based militant on Monday during visit to Pakistan, militants linked with the country's main Taliban insurgent group carried out an assault on a military convey, breaking a ceasefire agreement between the militants and the military, sources told Adnkronos International (AKI). The attack took place at noon when a military convoy travelling to the North Waziristan city town of Razmak was passing through a village called Qalandar. Four soldiers were injured in the attack. Razmak has a military fort but it is also the global Al-Qaeda headquarters. Thousands of militants fled to the area following military operations in South Waziristan. South of Razmak is the town of Dande-e-Darpa Khail - the base of Haqqani network, the largest Afghan Taliban group fighting NATO forces in Afghanistan. "Pakistan needs to do more against the Haqqani network," Clinton told Pakistani media in Islamabad on Monday. However, Pakistan struck a ceasefire deal with Hafiz Gul Bahadur, the Taliban chief for militants in North Waziristan, therefore refraining from any operation against the militants in the area. Taliban insurgents linked with Pakistan's Tehrik-e-Taliban, coming from the South Waziristan, are known to periodically violate the ceasefire agreement. Clinton on Sunday arrived in the Islamabad to kick off a south Asian tour aimed at refining the goals of the nearly 9-year-old war in Afghanistan. During the two-day visit to Pakistan Clinton aims to bolster bilateral ties with the country, which is seen as a key player in the US-led campaign against Al-Qaeda and the Taliban in the region.
