Under pressure from the United States to combat militancy, Pakistan has launched a new offensive against Taliban insurgents in the north-west of the country.
The operation follows the Taliban exit from Buner - just 100 kilometres from Islamabad. But India's border security chief says Islamic extremists are looking at alternative routes through Bangladesh and Nepal to penetrate its borders.
