	Pakistan Army - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Pakistan Army (Urdu: پاک فوج) is the largest branch of the Pakistan military, and is responsible for protection of the state borders, the security of administered territories and defending the national interests of Pakistan within the framework of its international obligations.
		The Pakistani Army is a well-trained and well-equipped military service and combined with the Navy and Air Force makes Pakistan's armed forces, the 7th largest military in the world.
		Pakistani officers were sent abroad during the 1950s and into the 1960s for training in Britain and other Commonwealth countries, and especially to the United States, where trainees numbering well in the hundreds attended a full range of institutions ranging from armored and infantry schools to the higher staff and command institutions.

		The army and its leader President General Pervez Musharraf, a key US ally in its war on terrorism, have warned that another military operation could be launched unless the foreign militants give themselves up.

	Pervez Musharraf - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pervez Musharraf (Urdu: پرويز مشرف; born August 11, 1943 in Delhi, British India) is currently the President of Pakistan and the Chief of Army Staff of the Pakistani military.
		Musharraf is also considered as a disputed personality holding powers as Army Chief and President because of the reason that he was dismissed and given retirement by Prime Minister, and because of the most disputed referendum held under his power, and was reported to have cast maximum of 3% votes in his favour.
		Musharraf was Chief of Army Staff at the time of Pakistani incursions into the Indian-held Kashmir, in the summer of 1999.

	Waziristan - Schema-Root (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Pakistani General Safdar Hussein has sent in 5,000 troops and set up a 60- km cordon in the rock and scrub of Waziristan after 16 of his men died in Tuesday's botched raid on a well-established and well-fortified mud-walled compound.
		Pakistani President General Pervez Musharraf a few days ago visited NWFP where he addressed tribal elders and warned them that if any operation is prevented in tribal areas against al-Qaeda, Pakistan would face dire consequences from the wrath of the United States.
		Despite the obvious fact that the Pakistani Army is stationed in tribal areas and has launched an operation, the Pakistan Army as an institution is still denying its involvement.

	Fighting An Army's Empire - Pakistani Defence Forum
		The army has responded by cutting off water to the fields of rebellious tenants, sending troops to surround their villages and arresting hundreds of protesting farmers, some of whom say they or their relatives have been tortured to force them to pay rent.
		The army pays a token fee to use the land, and two years ago the province refused an army request to transfer title to the property free of cost, according to a copy of an April 2001 letter from the Punjab Board of Revenue.
		I find it so incredible that Pakistanis continue to see themselves in a world in which they need not exercise responsibility, a world in which they are unaware of their own selves and the requirement to exercise autonomy of the self.

	washingtonpost.com: Pakistani Army Surrounds Tribal Fighters
		The Pakistani offensive in the tribal region, now in its fourth day, continued with artillery bombardments and rocket fire from helicopter gunships as neighboring Afghanistan sent reinforcements to its side of the border to prevent the besieged fighters from escaping.
		The fighting in South Waziristan this week is the heaviest since the Pakistani army two years ago began to assert control over the tribal areas, where Pakistan's central government traditionally has exercised little influence.
		Pakistani army officials and a senior civilian official in Peshawar said Friday night that some influential tribal leaders of South Waziristan were active throughout the day trying to broker an agreement between the security forces and the trapped guerrillas.

	Pakistan Facts - (Pakistani) Army mothered Kargil to scuttle peace: CCC (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		"Kargil was an attempt on the part of Pakistan army for regime sustenance by creating a war-like situation with India", says the study and adds: "The political impact of the Kargil was a deepening of mistrust between the army and the political establishment, which ultimately led to the ouster of the elected government".
		During open discussion, one Pakistani participant commented that it would be prudent to research the literature published by Mujahideen groups, carrying the list of those who had died in Kargil conflict.
		CCC director Dr. Peter R. Lavoy said that the Pakistani decisionmakers apparently perceived Kargil as mainly a tactical military operation, which was launched by a small group of army leaders under the guise of ongoing militancy in Kashmir.

		It would appear that Pakistani Army units moved across the LOC in March this year and occupied Indian Army posts that are vacated during the harsh winter months.
		The Indian Army has responded by moving in big guns and fresh troops into the area but re-capturing some of the ridges still in Pakistani possession would be extremely expensive.
		The more worrying part, however, is that the Pakistani military action on the ground coincided with a high level military meeting chaired by the Pakistani Army Chief of Staff General Pervez Musharraf.

		The Pakistani army, largely through the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), as part of its strategic vision for the region actively supported and promoted the Taliban in its formation and ultimate seizure of power in Afghanistan in 1996.
		It is an open secret in Washington now that a delegation of senior Pakistani army officers, sent to Afghanistan prior to the US invasion ostensibly to convince the Taliban to step down, actually spent their time instructing the Taliban on how to protect their weapons from the impending US aerial bombing.
		When General Zia ul-Haq was president and the chief of army staff in the late 1970s and early 1980s, he encouraged his officers to say their prayers five times a day (as is customary in Muslim society), and those who did so were looked on favorably when promotion time came around.
