Islamabad:
The Taliban have threatened to contaminate water sources and reservoirs with poisonous materials to pressure the Pakistan army to stop military operations in South Waziristan.
The cantonment boards of Rawalpindi and Chaklala received the threat from the banned Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan. A letter in which the Taliban threatened to contaminate water sources was faxed to the Directorate of Military Lands and Cantonments in Rawalpindi.
Tube-well operators and valve men have been issued special instructions to keep the doors of their offices closed and boundary walls of tube-well sections are being raised.
The military claims over 500 Taliban militants have been killed since the operation was launched in South Waziristan last month.
Troops have captured several key militant bases, including the hometown of Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan chief Hakimullah Mehsud.
The militants have retaliated against the operation by carrying out a wave of brazen suicide attacks and bombings across Pakistan that has killed hundreds.
