Pakistan widespread operation and its uncertain outcome

The Army and Rangers will conduct a widespread operation across Punjab to target militants, their facilities and their hideouts. The crackdown would give paramilitary Rangers extraordinary powers to conduct raids and interrogate suspects similar to those the Rangers have used for more than two years in Karachi, a senior security official based in Lahore told Reuters on condition of anonymity as he was not authorised to share details of the plan. We have prepared a report using voices from Pakistan based journalist and analysts. Please listen to it here.
