Five Killed As Afghan Militants Raid Pakistani Border Village
June 16th 2011


At least five people have been killed and dozens of others injured after more than 200 Taliban militants from Afghanistan launched a cross-border raid on a Pakistani village, news reports quoting officials said Thursday.

The attackers reportedly targeted the Mamoond village north-west of Khar, the main town in Bajaur district, bordering Afghan province of Kunar.

Officials said the attackers from Afghanistan were armed with mortars, rockets and machine guns, adding that the victims included three women. Several Pakistani army checkpoints have been set up in the area to deter such cross-border militant attacks.

Military officials said hundreds of Pakistani troops rushed to the region to counter the attack, resulting in the death of many militants. However, they did not provide the death toll.

The Taliban faction that carried out the raid has not yet been identified, as no group has claimed responsibility for it so far. The latest incident shows the impunity the militants enjoy to cross the porous border separating the two nations and launch attacks on both sides of the frontier.

It was the second such attack by Afghan militants in Pakistan this month. Earlier in June, hundreds of militants dressed in military uniforms had attacked a military check-point in the northwestern district of Upper Dir on the Afghan border. At least 34 people were killed in the fighting that lasted almost two days. A similar cross-border raid by militants in nearby Lower Dir in April claimed the lives of 13 Pakistani troops.

The Taliban militants have carried out several such attacks on civilian and military targets in Afghanistan and neighboring Pakistan in recent weeks to avenge the death of al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden. Some of those attacks have been directed at the international troops deployed in Afghanistan.

Its very surprising that the drones which pin point the terrorists in Pakistan are never been reported to kill any one on the Afghan Border.Amazing
 
Afghanistan is the center for global terrorism. Pakista's problems have roots in Afghnaistan and US and NATO have failed to control the country except Kabul and Kandahar.
 
1- If America fail to control terrorism from Muslim countries, America will be collapsed under the Law of nature.

2- Untill America will not know true methods of rule over the world, America will not be able to control terrorism.

3- This is not the time of war and use of dangerous weapon to kill terrorism. It's dangerous also for American
nation as well as the whole humanity and killing of humanity can never be appreciated by any nation and by
God.
4- By using these tactics, hate for America will be increased by Muslims as well by other nations during the
course of time.
It's the time of Love "to kill the terrorism", "to kill the hunger" & "to give the true concept of Islam."

The following question arises:
1- How to love?
2- How to kill terrorism?
3- How to kill hunger?
4- How to give the true concept of Islam?
5- How to make people busy in Economic progress?

These are some questions, perhaps America also know these problems but wasting Billions of
dollar to solve these problems, using improper ways. It's solution is only in proper way.

If you succeed to make people civilized, your all aims will be achieved.

Militants blow up Pakistan pipeline

Unknown armed men have blown up a key gas pipeline in Pakistan's southwestern conflict-riddled province of Baluchistan, halting gas flow to different parts of the region.


On Friday, militants dynamited a 16-inch diameter gas pipeline in Pirkoh area Dera Bugti district, cutting the supplies to the provincial capital Quetta and five other districts, a Press TV correspondent reported.

Security officials believe the Baluch Republican Army, a separatist group, could be behind the attack.

No casualties were reported in the incident. The attackers managed to run away from the scene.

Baluchistan, which borders Iran and Afghanistan, has been under attack by ethnic Baluch tribes seeking more political rights and a greater share of profits from the region's natural resources.

Hundreds have lost their lives so far in violence ripping through the province since late 2004.

The region has also been hit by attacks blamed on Taliban militants, although sabotage of gas pipelines is trademarks of separatist militants.

Militants set 10 NATO tankers on fire in Pakistan


Militants torched 10 tankers carrying oil for NATO forces in Afghanistan in southern Pakistan, injuring five persons including the vehicles' drivers, police and witnesses said today.
Three drivers were among the five persons injured in the attack in Khairpur district of Sindh province, police said. The injured were taken to a nearby hospital. Doctors said two drivers were hit by bullets.
According to police, the incident took place late last night.
The suspected militants fired at the oil tankers, which were going from the port city of Karachi to the northwestern city of Peshawar, and then torched them.
The flames from the tankers spread in minutes and burnt a roadside hotel and three shops.
Traffic was suspended on the National Highway.
Fire tenders, facing problems because of the huge flames, managed to extinguish the fire after five hours, witnesses said.
Footage on TV showed the tankers burning on the highway. The suspected militants fled after the attack.
No group claimed responsibility for the incident.
Police launched a search to apprehend the attackers but no one was arrested till this morning.
Attacks by suspected militants on NATO trucks are common in Pakistan's restive northwest and southwest but such attacks are rare in Sindh province.
The tankers cross into Afghanistan via the Torkham land border crossing.
Hundreds of tankers and trucks pass through Pakistan every day, carrying oil and other supplies for some 150,000 foreign forces in Afghanistan.
Suspected militants routinely attack the NATO supply vehicles in Pakistan.
This has forced the US to strike deals with Russia and some Central Asian states for alternate supply routes.
Pakistan is the shortest supply route to Afghanistan and officials say around 70% of items required by the NATO forces are supplied through the country.

A roadside bomb blast has wounded at least two Pakistani troops in the country's troubled southwestern province of Balochistan, Press TV reports.

This comes after their vehicle struck the roadside bomb while conducting a patrol in an area of Quetta, provincial capital of the Balochistan Province, a Press TV correspondent reported on Saturday.

The wounded soldiers have been taken to a local hospital and are said to be in critical condition.

Security forces have cordoned the area off and are currently investigating the incident.

Pakistan's Balochistan province has been grappling with insurgency over the past few years.

Pakistan has lost more than 35,000 people in militant attacks and bomb explosions since 2007, according to the Associated Press. Millions more have been displaced by violence and militancy across the country.
