I never thought i will see such turbulant times in Pakistan.
Its worse than the ten year Soviet Afghan war.
The best solution is to send back Afghan refugees..
They are bound by contract to return to their home land.
Pakistan gave them refuge,andthey promised to return when the war is over.
 
Updates from Peshawar: ISPR reports that 5 terrorists (all) eliminated. 3 were killed by Police personnel and remaining 2 blew themselves up after they noticed Pakistan Army soldiers coming towards them. In this incident, 1 security official embraced martyrdom.

Finally the OP is over. The terrorists blew themselves up! Another successful Operation! It couldn't have been better than this! Cheers! :pakistan:
 
PA is afraid to disclose his location...they know they'll be targeted right ther..:lol:

NO Genius this is the Standard protocol , When you apprehend a Terrorist you take him to a undisclosed location to interrogate , without any interference .

Why do I have to deals with ignorant kids like you .
 
Can somebody please shut this clown up?

Just report the idiot.
 
Man, you are barking up the wrong tree. This has nothing to do with the US. However, if you want to continue to use the US as a typical escape goat for anything that happens in Pakistan, including unemployment and malfunctioning of a traffic signal, you are welcome to.
The American training won't be this easy to kill. Plus, if these guys were American trained and supported. I think it'd be safe to assume that they'd be granted entry somehow into the base from somewhere. And they'll have digital maps of every assets to hit. I don't discount the Indian hand in there as you guys are adversaries and are usually involved in such events in either country. But blaming the US for everything is getting old!

AWACS, Fighter Jets, Naval Surveillance Aircrafts are not for so called TTP. They are for our ENEMIES and who want to use whom and for whom what who want in favor; everyone knowz.
 
All terrorists killed. One arrested alive. Peshawar airport operational again. News channels.
