Note: The list is NOT exhaustive and the toll of the
Pakistan Army’s folly in the tribal areas is still mounting. Moreover, if the
number of terror attacks before and after the launching of a military operation
is not significantly different, then what’s the point of waging a WAR in tribal
areas that has displaced millions of poor tribesmen from their towns and villages?
