Many militants in Punjab worked closely with the Pakistani intelligence services for years, and their infrastructure is dispersed and hidden in various towns and villages. The Army, which recruits heavily in the Punjab, will not use force there in the way it is doing in the tribal areas.
许多旁遮普武装分子已经和巴基斯坦情报部门密切合作了很多年，而其组织则分散隐藏在许多城镇乡村之中。与此同时，这些地方还是巴基斯坦部队招募新兵的主要来源地，因此巴军也不能像在部落地区那样使用武力。只有靠合作贯彻执行法律，加上情报部门的尽力配合，才能在这些巴基斯坦心脏地带取得成功。
