A report in Dawn’s June 11 issue headlined ‘Taliban ready to face Nato forces’ contained a typographical error in the first paragraph which should read as follows: If the one-legged Taliban commander, Mullah Dadullah, is to be believed his 12,000 rag-tag fighters are ready to take on the nearly half their number belonging to one of the world’s most well-oiled fighting machines — the Northern Atlantic Treaty Organisation — who are ready to take over from their American counterparts in Afghanistan.
