bunch of savages killed 6 security personnels and beheaded SP on the spot.
this battle went on for three hrs on Peshawar-Kohat road. and what I fail to understand is that how come there was nobody to back them up. where were all other police/troops? the moment these taliban entered there, they set everything on fire, so all the police equipment/weapons were in ashes in minutes.
this isnt the first this has happened. these attacks are on rise now.after this attack and many other countless brutal attacks, we still have people debating over whether this is really our war or not. we are still differentiating between bad guys and good guys. this confused mindset is not going to help us get rid of this cancer. top army leadership is just busy giving out statements, while our jawans are dying everyday. where will this end? what is stopping them take on these animals?
