A Closer Look At The Pakistani Taliban

Pakistan's military is calling on Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to take a tougher stance against terrorists, including more punitive strikes, after a brazen attack on the Karachi airport this week.

Sharif met with military leaders in a meeting yesterday, and his office says he'll decide how to go forward in coming days.

The airport attack, which left 39 dead, was followed by another attack nearby, less than two days later.
