Security has been beefed up across the country in the wake of the killing of Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan chief Hakimullah Mehsud in a CIA-operated drone strike in the restive North Waziristan tribal region.
Instructions have been given out to police and security officials to keep a hawk eye vigil to prevent the feared backlash from Taliban. “All precautions have been taken,” Interior Ministry spokesperson Omar Hameed Khan said.
