Pak Army chief directs his generals to focus on anti-terrorism operations

Islamabad, Jan 31 (PTI) Pakistan Army chief General Asim Munir on Tuesday directed his generals to focus on anti-terrorism operations as he vowed zero tolerance for terrorist groups, a day after a suicide bomber blew himself up in a mosque inside a high-security zone in Peshawar, killing 100 people and wounding more than 200 others.

General Munir, who presided over the 255th Corps Commanders’ Conference held at general headquarters in Rawalpindi, said that the military was determined to eliminate the threat of militancy from the country.

The army chief referred to the Peshawar mosque attack and said that "such immoral and cowardly acts cannot shake the resolve of the nation rather reinvigorate our determination to succeed in ongoing war against terror with zero tolerance for any terrorist entity," according to a statement issued by the army.
