It's On In North Waziristan As Pakistani Military Forces Take Out 10 More Uzbek Taliban

The Pakistani military has racked up 33 dead Taliban in North Waziristan over the past two days and today's tally of 10 dead showed all of the jihadis killed to be Uzbek nationals fighting for the Taliban.

I doubt that the Pakistani troops will stay in North Waziristan long - between it being a very dangerous place and a bargaining chip for later on, the military always whimps out in regards to North Waziristan.

The story comes from DAWN.


Security forces kill 10 more militants in North Waziristan



MIRAMSHAH: Pakistani security forces Thursday claim to have killed 10 more militants mostly Uzbek nationals, following last night’s clashes that left 23 terrorists dead in North Waziristan tribal agency bordering Afghanistan.

According to an ISPR statement, security forces launched a search operation upon ‘confirmed intelligence reports’ that the militants were planning to attack the troops with IED-laden vehicles, killing 10 militants in Mir Ali area of North Waziristan.

Most of the militants killed in the afternoon’s operation were reportedly Uzbek nationals, it added.

Eariler on Wednesday night, 23 militants were killed in exchange of fire with security forces in North Waziristan.

The clash followed a suicide attack on a military checkpoint which killed at least five soldiers and wounded 34 others. The attack had taken place while the security men were offering prayer in a mosque at the post.

The Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) spokesperson, talking to Dawn.com, claimed that the militant group was behind the suicide attack and that it was carried out to avenge ex-TTP chief Hakimullah Mehsud's death.

North Waziristan, one of the seven tribal districts along the Afghan border, is a hotbed for al Qaeda and Taliban militants.

The TTP has led a bloody campaign against the Pakistani state in recent years, carrying out hundreds of attacks on security forces and government targets, mainly in the country's northwest.

As a consolation, 33 less barbaric animals in this world.

I don't presume to know much of what happens in your country. But stay vigilant. Because here in Republiek van Suid-Afrika we have seen directly and bitterly the rule of Communist murderers and thieves.

It seems America is adopting the same stance as the ANC Marxists. A rule devoid of culture and common sense, the two most important elements a civilization needs to thrive.

Perhaps it is too late for us here. But you honorable men and women in America still have a decent fighting chance to change the trajectory of failure and cultural suicide your country has been veered towards since the 1960's.

Thank you for this opportunity to express my thoughts and feelings, and God Bless!
