PESHAWAR: Pakistan security forces suffered heavy causalities on Monday night when 14 of their soldiers were killed during a militants’ ambush in the Khyber Agency, DawnNews reported.

Official sources said that the militants attacked security forces in the area of Akakhel and 14 soldiers, including a captain and colonel, died when a mortar shell landed near them.

Security forces had been conducting an operation in the area for the past several days and had arrested a number of rebels, sources added.

a blunder on the part of the militants...a blunder they will regret very soon.



RIP to the martyrs who died defending the country. Death to the enemies of Pakistan Nation..

Just brainwashed.

Kidnapping young and small boys and making them suiicde bombers, this is NOT the fault of the suicide bombers but the 'upper management' which must be collapsed as soon as possible.

these people died in the line of duty
just shows that this war is far from over

regardless of what our liberals and right wingers say about Pakistan army, These soldiers had no say in the bigger scheme of things for which GHQ is now a favourite target of the media, Jamat Islami and our liberal elites.

This being a Pakistani defence forum I request everyone to give his/ her Pakistan Army hatred a rest and show some respect for the dead. Their assailants don’t care if they were following the orders of Pentagon or GHQ Rawalpindi. Their assailants also don’t care how much of the health and education suffers due to defence spending because as far as these militants are concerned, all schools should be bombed and all doctors and nurses should be executed anyway and its only the army that has the means to stop them, hence it is an obvious target.

Terrorists feed on our fears and our frustration, be a big man and show a united front at least in this thread for the sake of these men.

Hit and run tactic used by these terrorists
Improvised explosives or rocket launchers and mortars are used as a weapon of choice by insurgents everywhere. They are easy to conceal and transport. it might be most likely a Russian 82mm or 120mm. Judging by the death toll its highly likely that there might be large number of wounded too and that only suggests a mortar of a heavier calibre or a volley of them fired from range as the projectiles make a high angle of loop so many can be fired in a quick succession delivering maximum devastation at short notice & less time to react. This looks like a lucky shot when the troops might have assembled for briefing or were passing through a small confined place giving perfect opportunity to the terrorists.

In order to win this war not only we need the morale, resolve and the support of our population but three things

1. Superior firepower and training
2. Cutting their lines of communication and intelligence
3. cutting their supply line.

We already have the men and material to do the job but we need better intelligence to foil their attacks and also cut their own communication in order to enable surprise attacks on their hiding places. This is an area which needs a lot of improvement and that will also enable us to achieve the third point which is to cut their new recruitments and put a stop to their external sources. They have been able to fight with a regular army for 10 years which a local supply cant provide for at the scale of their operations. hence it is mainly the Afghanistan route from where they are able to replenish their supplies.

the terrain favours a gorilla war so during the colonial rule. The British army didn’t move unless it had pickets and posts along the path and on the mountain tops to nullify any ambushes. This strategy was successfully employed by the army in the swat operations when it started its campaign by occupying the mountains first. People who don’t have military knowledge criticised the waste of time in all this while the TTP was in full show of force in the town but we soon saw what happened when after occupying the tops the army moved in the cities, the TTP had no where to hide or think of counter attacking.

Without much details of the attack I am only able to guess that the mortar team of these terrorists had chosen vantage point where they could look down at the troops in a close proximity of each other and fired the shell or number of shells that unfortunately for us resulted in high number of casualties. Whether they had intelligence beforehand or whether it was a narrow pass which didn’t give much chance to the troops to manoeuvre

The actual perpetrators might have already crossed the border into Afghanistan by now or entered another agency. While the army will conduct its search operation it has to ensure that it doesn’t walk into another ambush. In order to avoid any such incidents, the army commanders have to think ahead of the Taliban.


update:

it was a friendly fire incident. the mortar shells fell on the troops location by mistake.
either way. loss is a loss and our loss is Taliban gain
