the entire world should be ready for aftershocks of this

"Nothing is more Powerful than an IDEA whose time has come". Allah has perfect timing for each and every thing, never early, never late.

Finally

Finally Good Sense Prevailed...!!! :)

in Internal threats should include the sold Politicians too who are member in parliament without votes..Indeed The Pakistan government should make an Internal security act as a part of constitution and independent patriots should be the members,who can take down all those people who are trying to destabilize the country economy and peace.

non sense

Army is just as corrupt, if not more like any other government entity. It has for far too long plundered away countries meager resources, created war hysteria and barricaded itself from any accountability and audit. Reign in these renegade cowboy wannabe duffers who have ruined my Pakistan.

But It feels like its too late

it is never too late ................. pakistan zindabad pak foj paindabad ................... kher IN SHA ALLAH

About time. Civilians have been shouting from rooftops about 'internal threats' for years. Lets hope it doesn't take another 11 years to start acting on this threat.

A good military understands and adjusts its priorities for threats that will emerge 10 years in the future. Our military can

Mirror, Mirror on the wall....hopefully, India - can save some money!!

Surprised it took so long for Pakistan army to realize this threat.If it keeps going so slow in understanding it's threat perception then only God can save Pakistan.

Does it mean that India is no longer the Greatest security risk? Good, if it is. Will save a lot of money.

The greatest security risk to themselves personally.

Army has not done any meaningful operations since 2009, allowing militants to regroup and hence we saw the resurgence of terrorism in 2012. With NATO/US leaving Afghanistan next year I see this document as a new scam to keep the money flowing to Army as it will now pretend to fight this "internal enemy". Pakistan has a very very bleak future.

Thank god some sense has prevailed. However, it is the army itself that has let this growth. They are still not sure if they should get rid of the internal enemy or save them for future troubles.

Correct, the foreign agencies funded terrorists..

Internal security is not the army's domain. For that police and investigation agencies must be equipped and strengthened on motorway police model.

AT LAST.

too little, too late..

aahh .. the penny has dropped ... finally ..

Wow!! This is great news. Best of luck

It took 11 years for the army to figure that out? Can we tell you who the characters are? You don't need a 200-page 'Green book' for that.

If this is just a tactical route to postpone the anti India bits until this domestic issue is taken care of, that

It's better late than never Surmad. Hopefully, the army will play it's cards right.

I wish more people would realize these things.

Omar, I have to disagree with you on that one. There is not a fraction of verifiable truth in your comment.

You can t kill loin with bb gun.

Why would God want to save a people who have fallen away from Him? Just twiddle your thumbs and count your toes. The Army will rock you in your cradle and give you your bottle.

The internal threat is evident and that is sectarian strife, the mother of threat. It should be addressed honestly. Unfortunately wicked religious scholars and politicians using religion for their vested interest since the very beginning. There is the need to address root causes of sectarian divide and its justification. The innocent majority population is believer in Abu Hanifa doctrine that is the same which was existing during pious caliphate period. But different religious scholars have been encouraged by the rulers of their time who have spread falsehood and that is still going on that dividing the innocent majority for vested interests of rulers and opportunists. All such situation is continued and that needed to be checked by Honest Religious scholars and Political parties as well as Army the sole guarantee of integrity and unity of the country. At one side people notice the sectarian killing, writers only tell the event but do not address root causes and at other side people notice the spreading hate culture by producing suspicious material on electronic and print media that even do not accept human mind and also against natural justice, further the processions and congregations at highways and on roads disturb citizens daily live and cause spreading hatred which is being overlooked by responsible government agencies and socalled religious scholars and national political leaders. All that is needed to be addressed.
