Pakistan orders offensive against Taliban chief

Very awesome ! with lots of luck the Pakistani military will find Baitullah mehsud , with a nice airstrike , or maybe with a few dozen bullets ! either way this is one douche I would love to see Martyred !

ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Pakistan has ordered the military to carry out an offensive against Pakistani Taliban leader Baitullah Mehsud and his fighters, a provincial governor said on Sunday.

The
announcement came hours after a bomb in a market killed eight people in
a northwest Pakistani town, the latest in a wave of attacks since the
army launched an offensive against Taliban militants in the Swat valley northwest of Islamabad.

Mehsud has been blamed for many of the suicide attacks in Pakistan,
including the assassination of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto, in
December 2007.

Expectations have
been rising that the military will launch an offensive against him as
the army enters the final stages of its campaign in Swat.

"The
military and law enforcement agencies have been ordered to carry out a
full-fledged operation to eliminate these beasts and killers by using
all resources," Awais Ahmed Ghani, governor of North West Frontier
Province, told reporters, referring to Mehsud.

He
did not say when the offensive would be launched but said Mehsud and
his people had provided shelter to "anti-Pakistan forces," including
many foreigners, and had been training suicide bombers.
