Pakistan continues campaign against Taliban

And heading now to Pakistan. The country's top military commander says security forces have seized a key city from the Taliban in the northeast. Paul, what's the latest development on the counter-terrorism operation? The Pakistani military is entering its fourth week in its ongoing mission to flush the Taliban out of the region following a series of terror attacks at an international airport last month. Officials say the army has retaken nearly 80 percent of the strategic town Miranshah, which they say was the control center of communication and logistics for all terrorist groups. The once bustling town is now virtually deserted after citizens were warned anyone who stayed behind would be considered a militant. Commanders say more than 400 insurgents have been killed during the operation, but some remain skeptical that the campaign can bring about an end to Taliban attacks in Pakistan. "The top leadership of the TTP is not in Pakistan. They are sitting in Afghanistan. And we've been raising this point with Afghanistan at all channels, that they need to be targeted, eliminated or handed over back to Pakistan." Twenty-four soldiers have been killed and 19 injured during the fighting, however the extent of civilian casualties remains unclear. Pakistan's allies, especially the United States, have urged the government for years to eliminate Taliban strongholds in the northeast of the country.
