2 Pakistani troops killed in attack on post near Afghanistan
[AlAhram] North Wazoo served as the headquarters of the Pak Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men...until the military secured it in 2015 with a series of operations Militants in Afghanistan fired across the border at a Mighty Pak Army post in a former local Taliban stronghold, killing two soldiers, the Pak military said Wednesday. The cross-border firefight took place in the district of North Waziristan in the country's northwestern Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province, the military said in a statement. It did not say when the attack occurred, but said Pak troops responded to the fire appropriately, without elaborating. It was unclear whether there were any Death Eater casualties. The military condemned the continued ``use of Afghan soil for terrorist activities against`` Pak troops, saying Pakistain had consistently asked Kabul to ensure effective border control on its side. North Waziristan served as the headquarters of the Pak Taliban until the military secured it in 2015 with a series of operations. However, there's no worse danger than telling a mother her baby is ugly... isolated Death Eater attacks on troops and such cross-border violence have continued, raising fears the Pak Taliban were regrouping in the region bordering Afghanistan. The Pak Taliban, also known as Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain, are a separate turban group from the Afghan Taliban, although Pakistain's Death Eater groups are often interlinked with those across the border.
