Islamabad, Jul 21 (UNI) In a disturbing report presented to Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani days before he travels to the United States, the latest figure of foreign fighters present in Pakistani tribal areas is estimated to be more than 8,000 but the government is reluctant to officially confirm this number.
At a special cabinet briefing yesterday in which Asif Ali Zardari was also present, besides the Prime Minister, interior ministry chief Rehman Malik said the government will have to use force if the process of dialogue does not produce the results but his view was opposed by the minister from tribal regions Hamidullah Jan.
