If TTP had been dealt years ago then probably this situation wouldn't have arisen. Pakistan is too symphatetic to various terrorist groups under the banner of islam and should adopt ZERO tolerance policy irrespectively.

If the same would have been done to 'target killers' of a so called political party, one call from London would've caused massive shut down in Karachi! Well done Sindh Police. If we are to believe in this story we are evenly poised to believing all the encounter stories from Karachi during the 90s!

The causative factors behind terrorism needs to be identified and eliminated. Otherwise we will be doing these operations for a long long time. Some of the possible causative factors are : access to education, availability of justice within a given time frame, and extremely high disparity of income. These three factors need to be addressed at the earliest.

Why do you call them militants? Why don't you call them terrorists? Karachi Op should continue till the last terrorist is weeded out. I am confident 2015 will be a better year for all in Pakistan.
