ISLAMABAD: Pakistan's top military commanders are meeting Thursday (today) to discuss the emerging security scenario and the way Americans are adopting unilateral approach to deal with terrorists by striking inside Pakistan.

The military commanders would be discussing the situation in depth at the Corps Commanders Conference to be held at the General Headquarters. Chief of Army Staff General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani will preside over the conference.

All corps commanders and principal staff officers will attend the conference. The conference is being held at a time when the United States has commissioned "a new, more comprehensive military strategy for the region that covers both sides of that border."

Military sources say that the unilateral approach by the coalition forces would not bode well, nor the Pakistani people and their leadership would support such thinking. The commanders will also take up host of issues, including lingering situation in Fata and Swat areas where the operation is going on against the terrorists and those taking refuge in their hideouts.
