In his field report for BBC Urdu, Abdul Haye Kakar reveals that despite the ostensibly forceful military operation in Bajaur, the Taliban have full control of 4 out of 7 Tehsils in the area.
Why?
Because the tunnel-visioned ideologues in ISI do not want this operation to be successful, i.e. they do not want to eliminate Jihadis and their training camps from the tribal areas.
