RAWALPINDI: A military official on Tuesday rejected the Wall Street Journal report about a Pak-US agreement for a joint operation in North Waziristan.
Coordinated actions on respective sides of the Pak-Afghan border being part of routine, should not be mistaken for "joint operations", the official said.
He further stated that targeted action in operation "Tight Screw" by Pakistan Army against militants in the North Waziristan is an ongoing process. This is being undertaken for some months now, to squeeze terrorists and there is no new operation as claimed in the report.
When, where and how to carry out within our territory is upto Pakistan alone to decide, he concluded.
