Re: Pakistan Army launches Massive Swat Operation - 33 militants killed
Now that the ex-CJ Iftikhar is no longer releasing terrorists (so-called missing persons) the job should be much easier for the Pak Army.
Re: Pakistan Army launches Massive Swat Operation - 33 militants killed
That is good to know, finally some focus on areas where they deserve some thrashing. This looks exact same scenario of Lal Masjid, let the militants finish their job (take over, get power etc.) then fight them with fire.... why do we have to wait for situation to get so bad? Why can't we nip the evil in the bud? (cut their supplies, cut their influx etc.)
Spot on Captain,
Musharraf is sending the signal that unless you support me, i will not do the job. He starts with the operation now to shut off the calls for democracy.
While people conveniently ignore the fact that militancy was unheard of in Swat just a year ago. The very same person under whom it blossomed.
You know the tradition of contractors in Pakistan. Pehley khud hi sarak ko toroo, phir isey bananey ka theka ley lo.
Re: Pakistan Army launches Massive Swat Operation - 33 militants killed
what about terrorists released by govt? you can keep blindly blaming CJ for everything but things will never change.
Re: Pakistan Army launches Massive Swat Operation - 33 militants killed
well as part of Mush’s sweep to get rid of the judges who released “terrorists” he inducted two of them again. Hypocrisy at its best. That also proves the emergency was for one purpose only: to save his kursi. Releasing the terrorists or using them ot enhance your hold on kursi both should be punished equally and Mush should be put under house arrest and his family hounded as he is doing it to the judges.

But you will see the same thing posted over and over again by some people, CJ was releasing terrorrists.
Re: Pakistan Army launches Massive Swat Operation - 33 militants killed
so whats the update on chitrol, last i read, beardo weirdos had run back into hills like geeder..
now they are talking about fighting until shahdat, well lets give it to these hadd haraam mullahs quickly..
PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AFP) - Pakistani troops have launched a counter-offensive against pro-Taliban militants in the northwest, pushing them back into forests and mountains, officials and witnesses reported Thursday.
The fighting has left more than 50 rebels dead in two days, according to army accounts, as security forces struck back against sweeping gains made in the scenic Swat Valley by militants loyal to a radical cleric.
Chief military spokesman Major General Waheed Arshad said troops Thursday killed 12 militants while clearing trenches and checkposts from a road.
Another eight were killed when security forces launched an attack, Arshad told AFP, saying their mortar positions had been destroyed.
On Wednesday, 33 insurgents were reported killed when the military pounded their positions with helicopter gunships and artillery.
Two soldiers and two civilians died in the unrest, officials said, and a militant leader said three more fighters died overnight.
Insurgent advances in and around Swat have embarrassed the government of President Pervez Musharraf, who cited growing Islamic militancy as one of the key reasons for declaring emergency rule on November 3.
He has since ordered the regular army – rather than the locally recruited paramilitary forces – to take the lead in tackling the unrest.
Witnesses said that in Shangla district, militants had disappeared off the streets and moved out, but residents said there was still fighting there late Thursday.
“Militants have fled from streets to forests and their mountain hideouts after the military offensive,” a security official told AFP.
Residents said around 700 to 800 troops had also taken up positions in the Belay Baba area, which had been a militant stronghold a day earlier.
Troops used artillery and mortar fire to push insurgents from another area on one of the main roads leading toward China, a security official said, and also captured a strategic mountain position.
Residents reported ongoing firing at militant bunkers in a number of Swat valley villages as well as intermittent shooting in Shangla.
Troops also attacked areas surrounding the Imam Dheri headquarters of the rebel cleric Maulana Fazlullah, who has launched a campaign for imposition of harsh Sharia Islamic law in the valley.
Fazlullah is dubbed Mullah Radio because he runs a pirate FM radio station that calls for a holy war or jihad on government forces.
His deputy Maulana Shah Dauran vowed defiance, saying they would only lay down arms after the government stopped firing and imposed Sharia.
“We are ready for the martyrdom and sacrifice. If operations continue then we would be compelled to launch suicide attacks against troops,” he told the radio.
Dauran said three fighters were “martyred” in Swat overnight.
The militants’ advances of recent weeks had indicated they were branching out into new areas from their traditional bases in the troubled tribal belt that borders Afghanistan
Re: Pakistan Army launches Massive Swat Operation - 33 militants killed
It's a bit late but a move finally in the right direction. And there should not let up now. Now that army is in action, should take it to its logical conclusion. Keep on pressing until the last extremist is either killed or gets apprehendid. No peace treaty crap or things like that.
Re: Pakistan Army launches Massive Swat Operation - 33 militants killed
Bring our troopss homeeeeeeeeee.
Warning level: 15

Absolutely, and this time I don't think the army is going to pull back until Swat is cleared of militants entirely.
Re: Pakistan Army launches Massive Swat Operation - 33 militants killed
Yep, they are fleeing like rats now, as the Pak Army punds the hell out of them.
100 militants killed so far.

All it needed was for President Musharaf to remove the people that were becoming a hurdle to the success on the war on terror.

Inshallah. They (Pak Army) are settling in nicely and looking for a big score. Now that the opening bowlers (the judges) have been taken out of the attack, for a well earned rest, the miliatnts are left with the second string, which the Pak Army is picking off one by one. :D
Re: Pakistan Army launches Massive Swat Operation - 33 militants killed

In that case he needs to step down himself.
Re: Pakistan Army launches Massive Swat Operation - 33 militants killed
Militant commander Matiullah was killed in the shelling and his second-in-command, Muhammad Ali, was missing and feared dead, the spokesman said. Residents said Matiullah's funeral was led by Fazlullah, better known as "FM Maulana" for his sermons advocating jehad broadcast from an illegal radio station.
Re: Pakistan Army launches Massive Swat Operation - 33 militants killed
^ y don't they kill fazalullah? he wants others to do jihad, lets not deprive him of 'shahdat'.
