It always going in armed forces, strict surveillance of staff. Investigation started after attempt made by few PAF officers, slowly they caught almost everyone. Majority of these adventurism happens on lower level.

Actions were taken in Mush era and certain servicemen were arrested over behavior non becoming a serviceman...i fail to understand what Geo is trying to do by running this as a new thing...the timing and presentation of this news is not at all correct and seems more of a mud smearing attempt to me...another attempt to make it seem that army has a major rift from within whereas Army has actually become more disciplined, strict and motivated than a few years ago...
Something smells of shi**y journalism....

I think its a positive news as it shows our Armed forces are doing a good job.clearly sends the message to Terrosit that we are on to you.

yap, its good to see that no one is above the rules, specialy in the armed forces of pakistan, but its shouldnt be made politicaly motivated! either
black sheeps , should be taken out , quickly for the better defence of the nation.

 

[Abu Zolfiqar]

this news is SOOOOO old man. You must be kidding me.


the traitors are in jail, and if things were my way --- they would be taken to Peshawar Fort and hung in public.


they were just technicians who told the air-route of Musharraf and gave advice on where to acquire anti-aircraft ammos (which never even ended up working, lol)


this is the only time that PAF has faced such incident. And they werent high level officials, they were just part-time technicians......

Either that or they could be involved in espionage as well, So why not take any Taqi,Daud and Haroon to task whom you suspect of ill trading on terrorism charges. Considering these days suspecting someone of terrorism is not taboo while calling one a spy is(thanks to some civil society butterflies).

 

[Jihad]

Bah, i'm glad they're arrested, our country is in the progress of cleaning everything and starting with a clean sheet, removing the likes of these people is a good start, i'm sure there is more to come.

 

[TOPGUN]

Good job PAF it was time to clear out the trash!

This is a major news, a lot of mysterious targeting killings occurred of top military officials in Islamabad during Musharraf era and at the start of the current coalition governments, are there any connections?

There were suicide attacks on Army Barracks in Islamabad, which is pretty hard to do, the attack apparently was from within, possible connections.

What about the ambush attacks on Military convoys carrying supplies for the front they were overtaken by militants I am sure they are quite secure roots where they travel, might have connections too?

But I am quite proud to day to see that we are fighting our inner corruption for once we should unite against them forgiving and forgetting the past, there is still a long road, but with steady leadership we can defeat the terrorists once and for all.
