RAWALPINDI: Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani said Monday that no one should have any misgivings that the Pakistan Army would let terrorists coerce them into accepting their terms

Army chief Kayani added the Pakistan Army had the capability and determination to fight terrorists and those responsible for the killing of officers would be brought to justice.

According to General Kayani, peace will be given a chance and the army fully supported the political process.

On Sunday, three military officers including two high-ranking officials of the Pakistan Army were killed in an IED blast in Upper Dir. The Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan claimed responsibility for the attack with spokesman Shahidullah Shahid setting terms for talks with the government. According to the spokesman, the army had to withdraw from FATA and Taliban prisoners released before talks would be initiated.
