The Pakistan army and ISAF are reportedly set to take out Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan chief Maulvi Fazlullah in a drone attack.
According to The Express Tribune, Fazlullah was reportedly in contact with the Peshawar school attackers from Afghanistan during the assault that left 141 people, mostly school children, dead on December 16.
The military leadership and ISAF told Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif that they were planning to strike the Nanger Har, Nooristan and Kunar areas of Afghanistan, believed to be Fazlullah's hiding venue.
The Pak army has reportedly accorded a reasonable amount of time to Afghan officials and ISAF to act against Fazlullah.
The army said that it would consider "other options" if no action was taken against the terror leader within the designated time period.
