Pakistan hints at attacks on North Waziristan

Dawn:

Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani has hinted at extending the scope of the military operation to North Waziristan by declaring: “Action will be initiated wherever the government’s writ is challenged.”

Without directly referring to recent reports that the military high command had agreed, in principle, with the Obama administration to launch a full-scale operation in North Waziristan, Mr Gilani said: “Armed forces are present wherever militants and terrorists are present, but a regular operation will be extended where it is most necessary.”

I think they will attack, but it will be on their schedule which means it should not be expected in the coming weeks, but possible in the coming months. Actually now would be a good time militarily, because many of the Taliban have gone to Afghanistan to fight there. Catching them with their forces depleted would be a good strategic move.
