Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir on Wednesday briefed President Asif Ali Zardari on the “aggressive and provocative actions of the Afghan Taliban regime”. Afghan forces, aided by affiliated militant groups, have been targeting Pakistan since last week, resulting in the martyrdom of several Pakistani soldiers, and the killing of over 200 militants in response to Taliban aggression. In a statement, the President’s Secretariat said that Field Marshal Munir called on President Zardari at Aiwan-e-Sadr in Islamabad, where he briefed the supreme commander of the armed forces on the internal and external security environment of the country.
