US Protected by International Law in Attacking Insurgents: Analyst
[Tolo News] The United States can launch operations against bully boy groups anywhere in the world without threatening national illusory sovereignty, an Afghan military analyst said Sunday.Retired General Atiqullah Amarkhail said that the US would be protected under international law if it chose to pursue bully boyz in foreign countries. "According to international laws, US can launch operation against bully boyz anywhere in the world," he told TOLOnews, adding that it would benefit both Afghanistan and Pakistain if such operations succeeded in shutting down the krazed killer networks. Amarkhail's comments are responding to an News Agency that Dare Not be Named report saying that the US has considered launching covert operations against bully boy groups in Pakistain in close collaboration with Afghan special forces. It is widely believed that many bully boyz cross the border from Pakistain to attack US, NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It's headquartered in Belgium. That sez it all.... , and Afghan forces and then retreat back to safety. The failure of Pakistain and US defence forces to stop these attacks has led to repeated discussion of "launching secret joint US-Afghan commando raids into Pakistain to hunt them down", the recently published AP report said. However, a hangover is the wrath of grapes... according to AP, they have hesitated because the White House "believes the chance of successfully rooting out the powerful Haqqani network would not be worth the intense diplomatic blowback from Pakistain", which has already condemned the unmanned drone attacks on bully boyz as a violation of Pakistain's illusory sovereignty.
