Pakistani soldier Hamed holds a rocket launcher while securing a road in Damadola, located in Bajaur Agency along the Afghan-Pakistan border March 2, 2010. Pakistan has driven out al Qaeda and the Taliban from one of their main nerve centres near the Afghan border, where it has been fighting militants for nearly two years, a top commander said on Tuesday. Pakistan's military took reporters to the former militant bastion of Damadola, where al Qaeda deputy leader Ayman al-Zawahri was in recent years believed to have been hiding.
