At least 40 extremists have been killed by the security forces in the last 12 hours in the tribal areas of Pakistan — File photoPakistani war planes are buzzing over Orakzai agency today as eight Taliban were killed in morning strikes and the total over the past 12 hours is at least 40 dead Taliban in these air strikes.
The Pakistani military has been following no rhyme or reason lately with their operations and it's almost like they wait until a certain area of the northwest frontier area gets too loaded with Taliban and then they decide to "cull the herd." The other idea I have is that local tribes and government officials probably send in some complaints to the Pakistani national government and then the military gets an earful.
Either way, this is good news as a world with 40 fewer Taliban is a much better world.
