Re: Terrorist Attack on Police training school in Manawan
Who else thinks that anyone who is found of supporting the Taliban on this forum be banned from posting? Especially after today's horrifying events?
Re: Terrorist Attack on Police training school in Manawan
It is said, one of the captured early in the operation had an Afghani Passport.
Good job to the security forces for undertaking the task and handling it swiftly. My deepest condolences to the families of the victims of this heinous act.

There are a lot of anti- Pakistan folks on GS who were hoping these terrorists would do even more damage so they can argue how US/west should attack Pakistan. But thank God, some of these monsters were caught alive.

This forum is actually quite sanitized. You should check some of the other pakistani websites, especially with lots of nawaz, jamaat, and imran supporters. They are convinced that the attacks were launched by zardari and rehman mailk with the help of CIA/RAW and the innocent taliban babys are shareef insaan.

You should post up the links.
Re: Terrorist Attack on Police training school in Manawan
Good and now once we extract info from these animals...we can pass that info to USA who can send in Predator drones to take out their bases
You should post up the links.
Can't, it's against the rules. And frankly I don't want to increase traffic to websites with jihadist leanings.

Fair call, but it's a catch-22 because Islamophobic blogs such as
Pakistan security forces have finally managed to catch some terrorists alive .............

Wrong, hundreds have been captured in FATA and NWFP, many have been released in exchange for "peace" deals. In Bajaur alone, dozens of foreigners were captured.
Fair call, but it's a catch-22 because Islamophobic blogs such as MyPetJawa would eventually get their hands on them and publish them anyways.

Vow.........
I wonder how many of these are real terrorists.
How many of the security forces gave them selves up / surrendered fighting the taliban in these areas?

Pakistan grills siege suspects
Updated at: 0825 PST, Tuesday, March 31, 2009
LAHORE: Pakistan interrogated Tuesday four suspects, including an Afghan, captured during a police academy siege that has fanned Western fears about the menace of extremism in the nuclear-armed state.
Attackers armed with guns, grenades and suicide vests stormed the training centre near Pakistan’s cultural capital Lahore unleashing nearly eight hours of gun battles until they were overpowered by security forces.
Eight police cadets and four attackers died in the second commando-style assault in Lahore this month, sparking fears that violence is seeping out of the tribal badlands on the Afghan border and into the heart of Pakistan.

The Associated Press: Pakistan group claims police attack, makes demands
Pakistan group claims police attack, makes demands
By BABAR DOGAR – 42 minutes ago
LAHORE, Pakistan (AP) — The militant group that claimed responsibility for the assault on a police academy said Tuesday it will carry out more attacks unless Pakistani troops withdraw from tribal areas near the Afghan border and the U.S. stops drone attacks against militants in the country.
Omar Farooq, who said he is the spokesman for little-known Fedayeen al-Islam, also said the group carried out a similar ambush-style attack against the Sri Lankan cricket team earlier this month in Lahore — the same eastern city where a group of gunmen stormed a police academy Monday and killed at least six trainee officers before being overpowered by Pakistani commandos.
The group previously said it was behind the deadly September bombing of the Marriott hotel in Islamabad that killed 54 people.
Such attacks pose a major test for the weak, year-old civilian administration of Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari that has been gripped with political turmoil in recent weeks.
Some of the gunmen who attacked the academy Monday wore police uniforms, and the group managed to hold off security forces for about eight hours, seizing hostages and throwing grenades.
Four suspected militants were arrested, while at least three blew themselves up during the battle, said Rao Iftikhar, a top government official in Punjab province. He said three other bodies were still unidentified, two of them wearing police uniforms.
Interior Ministry chief Rehman Malik said one of the arrested men was an Afghan, and that investigators believe the attack may have its roots along Pakistan’s border with Afghanistan, where Taliban militants have hideouts. But Malik also pointed fingers at a Punjab-based Sunni extremist group and refused to rule out an Indian role.
Farooq, the Fedayeen al-Islam spokesman, is also a member of the Pakistan Taliban, illustrating the dangerous links among various militant groups operating in the country.
“We will carry out more attacks in the future if the government doesn’t pull troops out of the tribal areas, if the Americans don’t stop drone attacks and if the Pakistani government doesn’t release Maulana Abdul Aziz,” Farooq told The Associated Press by phone.
Aziz was the chief cleric at Islamabad’s Red Mosque, which was the site of a pitched battle between militants and security forces in 2007. Aziz was arrested during the security operation to retake the mosque as he tried to flee wearing a burqa, the all-encompassing woman’s veil.
Aziz has links to the Pakistan Taliban, which has stepped up attacks inside the country from its bases near the border with Afghanistan. The Pakistani government has launched several operations against militants in the border region.
The Pakistan Taliban has links with al-Qaida and Afghan Taliban militants based in the same area who have launched cross-border attacks against U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan.
Pakistan faces tremendous U.S. pressure to eradicate militants from its soil. The U.S. has stepped up drone attacks against militants in the border region, causing tension with Pakistani officials who protest they are a violation of the country’s sovereignty and kill innocent civilians.
Monday’s highly coordinated attack highlighted that militants in the country pose a threat far outside the border region. It prompted Malik, Pakistan’s top civilian security official, to say that militant groups were “destabilizing the country.”
Officials said more than 90 officers were wounded in the assault.
“We were attacked with bombs. Thick smoke surrounded us. We all ran in panic in different directions,” said Mohammad Asif, a wounded officer taken to a hospital.
Masses of security forces surrounded the compound, exchanging fire in televised scenes reminiscent of the militant siege in the Indian city of Mumbai in November and the attack on Sri Lanka’s cricket team, which left six police officers and a driver dead and wounded several players.
“The eight hours were like eight centuries,” said Mohammad Salman, 23, one of the hostages. “It was like I died several times. I had made up my mind that it was all over.”
Associated Press writers Asif Shahzad, Sebastian Abbot, Nahal Toosi and Munir Ahmad in Islamabad and K.M. Chaudhry in Lahore contributed to this report.
I was correcting your incorrect statement. What are you wowing about?
Vowing to the fact that yuou stated that hundreds have been captured in tribal areas / FATA.
But how many of those hundreds which have been captured are real terrorits or that doesn't matter as long as the $$$$$$$$$$$ continue rolling and pleases the big brother.
Haven't the security forces also been surrendering to these militants in the tribal areas or this also not correct? May be you can corretc me.
