Introducing new gear will require the entire force to be retrained in its use, which makes it a counter-productive solution. Which is why I suggest that raising a QRF within the ASF might be a suitable compromise whereby the ASF's response capability can be exponentially enhanced whilst keeping...

The ASF are equipped with material according to their roles, which is to deal with basic disturbances at airports stemming from domestic threats such as smugglers, thieves or lone wolf attackers. An attack such as this had not been anticipated as a situation that the ASF would ever have to face...

Except for the factually incorrect points in bold, I am interested to read about what the author has to say.

I don't even have a brother! I came in expecting a confession thread, then I stumbled into this and now I think I'm confused about what to make of all this.

But our focus and the fatwa in discussion are more limited in their chronological context, wouldn't you agree?

Yes but Islam has this magical quality of granting some degree of legitimacy to the terrorist's agenda. Our people despite a decade of war still question if the TTP are indeed muslim and have a strange fixation with their "Khatnay" what does that tell you? Just Iraq and Afghanistan, otherwise...

The ISIS is advancing at lightening pace, Iraqi Defence Forces have collapsed in the face of their onslaught and the US seems to be nowhere in sight. In this situation, someone has to step up to impede the ISIS advance on Baghdad. The first ISIS-Shia clash will signal the beginning of a...

Agreed, my complete support and sympathies rest with the Shias in this conflict. The ISIS represents a threat to the entire region, they must be stopped.

We have a handful of them, TTP, LeJ, SSP among many others.

I am more concerned about them procuring arms and exporting them to like minded groups.

Even though I myself have never tasted it, I've just heard it's best that way.

More cash=Better Weapons This will only continue to get bad unless some corrective measures are taken ASAP.
