| 2014-08-06 |
| [Tolo News] Pak military has fired 63 missiles into eastern Kunar province ... which is right down the road from Chitral. Kunar is Haqqani country..... in the past two days, local officials reported on Tuesday, adding that the attacks have not led to any causalities yet. According to the Kunar's Provincial Police Chief Abdul Habib Sayedkhili, the bombardment started around 7 p.m. Monday evening thru 7 a.m. Tuesday morning. "The Pak military fired 63 missiles into several parts of Dangam and Marawara districts," he said. Bordering Pakistain, Kunar has been the target of hundreds of missiles in the past week. Diplomatic tensions between Afghanistan and Pakistain have increased with the cross-border bombarding from Pakistain and reported occasional Afghan retaliation in the past few years. |

| #7 IIRC see PAKISTAN DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > "ALL OPTIONS ARE ON THE TABLE" UNLESS KABUL DOES SOMETHING: PAKISTAN. More trouble for the Bammer. |

| #6 Nowadays you'd need a Sunni axis of evil, or perhaps two -- one each ISIS/Al Qaeda and Muslim Brotherhood, all funded by various Gulf oil potentates in the hope of getting ahead of Darwin and aided/abetted by Pakistan -- a Shiite axis of evil (Iran, Alawite Syria, Hizb'allah, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and, however reluctantly returning to the fold, Hamas)... Russia is playing round the edges with Iran and Syria, China is buying up resources... There's more than enough evil to go around. |

| #3 I've often been curious as to why they keep count of (and report qty's on) the missiles they fire. Based on the outcome, would 62 have been enough for 'show'? Would firing 64 have made a difference? Does it matter to anyone other than the 'bean counters'? |

| #1 63 missiles and nobody even caught a scratch? Sounds like more classroom time for somebody. |
