He told the BBC's Owen Bennett-Jones in Islamabad that the compound in Abbottabad, just 100km (62 miles) from the capital, was raided when under construction in 2003. BBC News - Bin Laden: Pakistan intelligence agency admits failures

^^ There is a discrepancy there too. They said, so far as I can remember, they had raided it in 2003. The house itself came up in 2005. EDIT: Directed at SMC

The town we are talking of is not your run-of-the-mill town, it is Abbottabad, practically a garrison town that houses the prestigious PMA. Several retired PA generals and also serving ones reside there. In other words, it is a high security area, where such a huge house with such high walls...

^^ Irony, thy name is Al Zakir.

Obviously you don't understand what 'disclaimer' means. If you did, then you would have realized that my intention was not to establish any figure. I was merely providing a counter to the proposition that such high casualty figure is impossible to achieve by PA during 9+ months of mayhem. The...

Since you mentioned that figure, lets do some maths. 40,000 soldiers (average deployment throughout 9 months, minimum being around 25,000 and maximum being around 55,000), '3,000,000' deaths, 9 months+ i.e. around 300 days. That means, each soldier killed 75 people in 300 days. That...

With apologies to my good friend who reminded me a few minutes ago, of the futility of continuing in this thread, one last post about Kargil. Earlier I had mentioned that Kargil was part of Pakistan as per Karachi Agreement 1949. I am guilty of not being specific. Actually it was Kargil...

Sure. But how about those UN documents. Any plans to cite those documents where UN disputes IoA.

Never claimed Haji pir was part of Kargil. Btw, you forgot to add 'brutal' before exposition.

Ignorance is not just bliss. It is power as well. Irrelevant. Unless you can cite a UN document where UN disputes IoA, all your points are like tissue after a wipe.

But that was never the point. Whether UN excepts it or not is moot. Your point was 'since India considers all of Kashmir as integral part.... '. All your arguments were hinging on what India considered. At least have some integrity and not shift posts according to whim.

Holly cow. The Kargil district today consists of parts of Ladakh. Kargil then didn't have the same boundaries. Karachi agreement resulted in bifurcation of northern peaks of Kargil, which remained with Pakistan while the bulk, the southern part, remained with India. During 65 India went ahead...

Because India agreed that opinion of the people would be taken to finalize accession.

Can you please refer me to the UN resolution, or any UN document, where UN disputed Instrument of Accession.

Yes. So. In the second picture, marked by red, the lower part of Kargil was added from Ladakh in 1979 (I have to check the name of the block though).

UN never disputed the Instrument of Accession.

Where did I claim that it does.

Actually it shows southern part of Kargil within India.

You do realise that Kargil is a district and stretches northward.

Nowhere close. It is in fact a strawman. But hey, whatever helps you sleep.
