US drone kills two near Kurram

PESHAWAR:

At least two people, including a Haqqani network commander, were killed after a suspected US drone struck a vehicle on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border near Kurram Agency, officials said.
Reports suggest there were at least four people in the vehicle when it was targeted by the unmanned aerial vehcile.

Sources said the dead were Jumma Khan, a Haqqani network commander and his associate.

It was not immediately clear if the drone hit the vehicle inside the Pakistani territory or on the Afghan side of the border.

Last month, a suspected US drone strike targeted a hideout of the Haqqani network in the same area, killing four people

We are definitely reluctant to shoot down American assets... and that too when they are in Afghanistan??? I don't think paf is rabid yet...

Its one thing to fight for sovereignty... completely different to go into Afghanistan to pick a fight with US

Dawn is fake news

By the way from above statement one thing is sure drone was in afghan side ... only doubt is were target across or not

Yeah sure it is, we keep on telling ourselves that to reassure one another but our country is nothing but a slave in front of the Americans and we do f all about it.

nope, people are..country isnt...

people voted for PMLN and will do it again...
drone isnt a topic of interest.....
it doesnt even make headline....
had this drone been in lahore you would have seen the difference...
problem is Punjab will vote again for PMLN and KPK/FATA will bleed...
where is the supreme court here...lol

It might be as much about $$$ ,but you know against USAF PAF dsnt stand a chance

really you look everything as black and white

does Russian airforce and Chinese air force stand chance against USAF..no
will USAF go to war on cremea or anything else with china..no
does IAF stand chance against PLAAF..no..will china go to war with india ..no

Even if they want to they cant that's why i said cant

 

[alphapak]

If they shoot down the drone ,that will be the last time they will have the capability to shoot something,it's USA bro on the other side.

Iran bought down their stealth drone, what did the U.S do?
It is all about the leadership.

 

[Crystal-Clear]

Isn't Kurram Agency in Pakistan?

I thought Pakistan was supposed to shoot down those US drones inside Pakistan territory, what happened to that ?

strike take place near khurram agency . not inside khurram agency

 

[Maxpane]

chiefs words are nothing the are losing our trust

 

[Baghial]

After US forces has roasted our boys in Salala, we should by now all be aware with tees mar khan behavior of Pakistani generals

we are not last of mohicans ....main nawaz sharif is disqualified... but not a single penny looted will ever be returned to exchaquer of pakistan.. zindabad... when pupu potwari of rawlpindi (bharia town)can be crore pati, who needs the amercian dollrs

 

[jetray]

Pakistan said they will only shoot down the drone, not the missile. So they are technically correct.

 

[Sine Nomine]

Any reaction from Pakistan side so far?

Yes a decision has been taken during a high level meeting,that was held on today's eve,upcoming friday prayer a protest would be held by PAF in which, US along with USAF would be cursed+special prayers would be arranged for destruction of Yahood o Hanood.

It's all about strategic location of Pakistan.
We have seen in history, whenever Pakistan US relations strain Iran and India also heat up respective borders.
