US warns of threat to foreign aid workers in Pakistan

[maroush]

What bakwaas is this…instead of aiding their country in its time of need, they want to hinder the rescue effort..???

This is total BS if true…

**The Pakistani Taliban are planning to attack foreigners helping with flood relief efforts in the country, a senior US official has warned.
**
The Taliban plan “to conduct attacks against foreigners participating in the ongoing flood relief operations in Pakistan”, the official told the BBC.

The official also said “provincial ministers in Islamabad” may be at risk.

The warning comes as thousands flee their homes in southern coastal areas as floods sweep down from the north.

The UN says more than 17 million people have been affected by the monsoon floods, and about 1.2 million homes have been destroyed.

Some five million Pakistanis have no shelter, and urgently need tents or plastic sheeting to protect them from the sun.

Pure ridiculous. Great ally we got here. On Independence day our ally sends drone attacks as a present and at the time of need this ally tries to desert us.

LOL! Provincial Ministers in Islamabad. I love Americans they are totally clueless

But the warning is not new. They give it every few months a year and its a valid concern. Their job is to ensure their citizens are secure.

@BBC

The warning came hours after a top US general involved in the military relief effort said his men had not encountered any security problems in flying aid to Pakistan.

“We have seen no security threat whatsoever in the three weeks we have been operating here,” Brigadier General Michael Nagata was quoted by the AFP news agency as saying.

     He added that the Pakistani military had done a "highly effective job in providing our force protection and security".

hmm no threat there. Not to mention militant groups helping out the poor, more than the elite have done and saying they won’t conduct any attacks at this time (all over the media, guys!). Give them some credit. Also so what if they attack foreigners, if your government is not protecting you from black ops causing chaos in the country, you should welcome armed resistance. And who the hell cares about corrupt gov officials anyway, let them blow up in pieces.. Jeez.

Good to know that you agree with the killing of 22 UN officials this year alone in Pakistan. You wanna know the worst part, a good portion of them were doctors giving out polio vaccines.

Despite the heavy floods, there are still suicide bombings going on in Pakistan so probably that's why they warned their workers.
