“Zero Dark Thirty”, the American film nominated for the Oscars this year, is based on the American operation to hunt down and kill Osama bin Laden.

Since we didn’t know that U.S. special operations forces were secretly conducting Pakistan missions in such numbers, it might be worth asking what else we don’t know. 

The Abbottabad Operation not only ended the American quest for the most wanted fugitive in the world, it also exposed the ‘incompetence’ of Pakistan’s military establishment. 

A concerted effort by nations in the central, south and west Asian regions should be more effective in taking on terror, not the short sighted and flawed "War on Terror" launched by the US and its allies.
