Losing battle

Vikram Sood has correctly delineated the current scenario in Pakistan as being the aftermath of the storming of the Lal Masjid to flush out terrorists.

Vikram Sood in Exorcist: Dictator’s cut (July 18) has correctly delineated the current scenario in Pakistan as being the aftermath of the storming of the Lal Masjid in Islamabad to flush out terrorists owing allegiance to Al-Qaeda and other fanatic jehadi groups. The recent grouping of various armed factions should be a cause for concern to Pakistan. It seems the US is betting on a losing horse, because Musharraf cannot tame these tribal guerrillas who are ruthless and born fighters.
