Pakistan operation

This refers to the report “Pakistan launches operation against banned organisation” ( Dec. 9). The lone terrorist — captured in India after the Mumbai attack — who has named the mastermind, is no doubt a prize catch. The raid and the capture of militants are only a concrete expression of Pakistan’s response to intense international pressure.

The operation launched by Pakistan against the banned Lashkar-e-Taiba is a welcome move. But had it been really interested in curbing terrorism on its soil, Pakistan would have not taken so long to launch such an operation. Better late than never.
