Terrorist attacks in Pakistan's tribal areas perpetrated by militants operating from safe havens in Afghanistan according to the ISI

[Babur]

It seems that the ISI are reluctant to admit that they're to blame for terrorism afflicting Pakistan, they have clearly lost control of militants and now Pakistanis are paying for it.Hopefully one day Pakistanis will realise that supporting terrorism will only lead to more lives being lost and increasing instability in return.This is ironic since the Afghan Taliban's leadership are in Quetta, Pakistan.

Militant safe havens in Afghanistan, says ISPR From the Newspaper (15 hours ago) Today

ISLAMABAD: Inter-Services Public Relations Director General Maj-Gen Athar Abbas has said that there are terrorist safe havens inside Afghanistan.

In an interview with a British media group, he said terrorists from Swat had found Kunar and Nuristan in Afghanistan to be safe havens and from there they launched cross-border attacks inside Pakistan.

Gen Abbas said militants and their leaders – Fazalullah, Faqir Muhammad, Abdul Wali and Hakimullah – had hideouts in these areas, adding that when Nato was pulling out its troops from the areas, Pakistan had conveyed its well-founded concerns.

Commenting on a video showing the killing of 27 troops in a Dir village on June 1, the ISPR chief said the incident was being investigated to trace the culprits. He said 50 to 60 Tehrik-i-Taliban Swat militants crossed over into Pakistan and brutally martyred the Pakistani troops in an attack on their checkpost.

He said the militants were led by Hafeezullah alias Kotchwan, Muftiuddin alias Shabbar and three other commanders from Toormila.

The ISPR DG said that although the Army could not directly act in Kunar (Afghanistan), a commission had been set up in Peshawar to see what possible action could be taken.

mmm ok why cant everything be simple

[Principe Alessandro]

Like they really care what Talibans are doing in the tribal areas near the Afghan border.

Anyway interesting, now they are blaming Afghanistan for their Taliban issue, reminds me the same tactic used by Karzai.

Well that's good, they admitted what everyone already knew.

Misread the article

Well I suppose admitted that they are in part to blame is somewhat irrelevant.

Action needs to be taken and the finger pointing can happen at the end, when time allows.

The only reason the two countries are going back and forth is:

1) A region disputed which both claim.


2)India claims Pakistan is part of India (Which it is), ergo the Pakistani nation is nothing. Pakistan says they are independent.


But Pakistan launches attacks on India a few times a year in Mumbai or something. They start a war every 20 years, and India wins and they have a peace treaty.

admitting that one has a problem is the first stage to recovery

sadly though, many blame the US and this has hindered efforts to tackle the militancy in Pakistan

I agree, invade Pakistan!

I think you are getting a little confused. The dispute is over Kashmir, not all of Pakistan.

Perhaps, but it's also a province on the northern India/Pakistan border.
