Dear @Hyperion Foreign Military Sales (FMS) agreements with Pakistan between Fiscal Year 2002 – 2012 have resulted in about $5.2B worth of military assistance. Pakistan has become part of the recipient countries for Excess Defense Articles (EDA). As of March, 2014 the information provided by...

Naswar flavored Starbucks? That's a first! - And looking the other way is what we have been blamed for for decades now. People criticize us for shifting our focus away from the region after the Soviet War, so it wouldn't be reasonable to repeat the same scenario. Haroon Ahmad

In the past thirteen years, Afghanistan, Pakistan and the United States, have witnessed events which have defined, reaffirmed, improved and on rare occasions hurt our bi-lateral and tri-lateral relations. Throughout all these events, whether they were relief efforts, anti-terrorism operations or...

We should not be surprised with the IDPs stories. The terrorists were never indigenous people they came and took over Waziristan. They had fire power and money; the two powerful ingredients to take over a community. It is obvious that the local population were afraid of the new comers. Who...

The statement issued by Agha Jan Mutasim is a clear contradiction to the TTP’s actions in the region. TTP and other terrorist organizations have killed thousands of innocent people in the region. We have also lost thousands of brave soldiers in our shared fight against terrorism. The people of...

We have full confidence in the government’s ability to negate the threat of violence from the country, and wish to see peace prevail throughout the region. Ali Khan Digital Engagement Team, USCENTCOM

The terrorists on the run will continue with their sneak attacks and suicide bombings. That is the fact! We have seen increased attacks on both sides of the border when terrorists hits a Ramadan Bazaar killing over 80 innocent civilians; mostly women and children. We saw sniper attacks on...

Yup, that was my intent since you know that Bald eagle might look like a Hawk in disguise etc etc. Haroon Ahmad

Ours is the CENTCOM emblem. The bald-eagle is our national bird and the map is of the region which we refer to as our Area of Responsibility. I like Homer Simpson's x-ray! Haroon Ahmad DET - U.S. central Command United States Central Command - Urdu - MacDill Air Force Base, FL - Government...

It is regrettable to witness the demise of tourism in this region due to these violent incidents. First it was the Pakistani Taliban, now it is unknown target killers who are murdering innocent people and creating more fear among people. The existence of security and stability is one of the most...

Terrorists have hurt regional peace for decades now. Pakistan has suffered economically as well thousands of innocent lives lost. United States Army General Campbell, in a recent interview said, “Both nations face common threats that attack their civilian populations and threaten their...

The enemies of peace continue to prey upon innocent lives for the sake of achieving their deadly agenda. As the nation of Afghanistan continues to rebuild and take steps toward a bright future, the terrorists on the other hand are doing everything in their power to halt the progress. So far...

No terrorists or their leaders should go free. We see them create havoc with innocent civilian lives on both sides of the border. Just today, a suicide attack killed 89 civilians, mostly women and children on the other side of the border in Afghanistan. These terrorists have no respect for...

The most surprising and disturbing discovery at these training centers, I feel, were “certificates to guarantee a place in paradise” that the terrorist leadership gave to young kids after they completed their suicide bomber training. These kids were manipulated into believing that suicide...

It is extremely unfortunate that Pakistan has witnessed decline in tourism in recent years. Pakistan ranks 122 out of 140 countries in Travel, Tourism Competitiveness report – The Express Tribune The negative publicity Pakistan often receives due to the unfortunate incidents of terrorism...

I have a concern about the caution signs being only in English. Is this in North Waziristan? Wouldn't it help to post signs in the regional language also, just in case a civilian accidentally walks in. Just a thought. Haroon Ahmad Digital Engagement Team - CENTCOM United States Central Command...
