Mehmood Shah, security chief of the tribal area, said that the troops will extend all help to the tribal army Lashkar if the al-Qaeda men and their local supporters preferred to fighting with it. He added the Lashkar is the final option with the tribesmen and a military operation will follow if the Lashkar fails to achieve the result.
