Tank is located near South Waziristan where Pakistan's security forces

have battled local and foreign militants in the wake of US invasion of
Afghanistan.
The country has seen high profile kidnapping of Shahbaz Taseer, son of
former Punjab governor late Salman Taseer, and Ali Haider Gilani, son of
former prime minister Yousuf Raza Gilani before the abduction of Awais
Shah over the last fiver years.
Taseer was held in captivity for four and a half years before being
recovered from Kuchlak, Balochistan in March this year, while Gilani was
recovered during an operation jointly carried out by US and Afghan forces
in Ghazni district of Afghanistan in May.
