More blogs: “As I said before the militants according to ISPR are hiding in the basement, so it will take awhile this is not a normal special forces OP, and their are also civilians in the basement.”
2 Dead, 8 Injured from Elite Force. Weapons used: AK-47s, RPGs, booby traps, molotov cocktails etc...vast area and many floors including 3 basement levels so will take time. You'll definately get casualties due to close quarter combat and increased likelihood of casualties....Aaj asking if there has been any advancement...ISPR says that currently heavy fighting around the wuzu areas.
ISPR spokesman Gen Waheed Arshad is on Aaj right now....saying there are contingency plans if the militants continue fighting. they're trying to push him to say that the operation is a failure cause even after 3 hrs the PA hasn't won...he's saying that the PA never gave a time limit on the operation and they are facing heavy resistence and so it takes time.
