Surprisingly ,Pakistan has not asked the U.S. to help out in this operation , With as far as Pakistan has gone in this offensive , It would just make sense to have the U.S. step up drone attacks . But then again that would make sense !
....
ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Suspected U.S. drone aircraft fired missiles at militant targets in Pakistan's South Waziristan tribal region on the Afghan border on Thursday, killing at least five people, intelligence officials said.
The United States, alarmed by worsening security in Afghanistan, has been using pilotless drone aircraft to attack Taliban and al Qaeda fighters in northwestern Pakistani enclaves, from where the militants mount attacks into Afghanistan.
"Three missiles struck a training camp run by a local militant commander, Malang Wazir," said an intelligence official, who asked not to be identified, referring to an attack in a village west of the region's main town of Wana.
Another security official, citing witnesses, said five people had been killed in the same strike.
The second attack was in a separate village but neither of the officials had any details about casualties there.
