Trying to figure out the Pakistani government and military is impossible - just about the time when you are going to make note of the fact that not a single attempt has been made by the Pakistani military to engage the Taliban in months, they hit an area of the northwest of Pakistan with a sophisticated airstrike using Pakistani air force fighter jets. Like they did today.
The story is from DAWN.
Security forces blitz militant hideouts in Orakzai
PESHAWAR: Pakistan’s security forces’ fighter jets pounded militant hideouts, killing a dozen militants and injuring another five in various areas of Orakzai agency on Sunday, DawnNews reported.
Three militant hideouts were destroyed in the attacks.
The airstrikes targeted four hideouts in the remote Ghaljo and Dabori areas of the northwestern Orakzai tribal region, military officials said. The locations were being used by members of the Pakistan Taliban.
The death toll could not be independently verified and militants often dispute official figures.
