![]() ...which coincidentally borders South Wazoo... province. Deputy front man for the Ministry of Defense, Dawlat Waziri, told news hounds on Monday that the Afghan forces have been instructed to use all force to react and stop Pak helicopters to assist the Talibs. The remarks by Waziri were followed after reports emerged that the Pak helicopters are dropping weapons to Taliban in Barmal district. This comes as tensions have intensified across the Durand Line following a brief clash between the Afghan cops with the Pak troops in Paktika province last week. At least eight Pak security personnel were reportedly killed after the Afghan forces responded to their provocative action of building military installations within the Afghan soil. A member of the Afghan national security forces also lost his life during the shootout with the Pak troops. The Afghan government officials have long been criticizing Pakistain, specifically the country's military intelligence -- Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) for supporting the Taliban-led insurgency in Afghanistan. The National Directorate of Security ...the Afghan national intel agency... (NDS) -- Afghanistan's intelligence agency said last month that the attack on Parliament building in Kabul ...the capital of Afghanistan. Home to continuous fighting from 1992 to 1996 between the forces of would-be strongman and Pak ISI/Jamaat-e-Islami sock puppet Gulbuddin Hekmayar and the Northern Alliance, a period which won Hek the title Most Evil Man in the Worldand didn't do much for the reputations of the Northern Alliance guys either.... was orchestrated in Beautiful Downtown Peshawar ...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (formerly known as the North-West Frontier Province), administrative and economic hub for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistan's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire. city, scenic provincial capital of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa ... formerly NWFP, still Terrorism Central... province of Pakistain. NDS officials said the attack was carried out by Haqqani terrorist network with the support of ISI which left five people killed and 30 others maimed. |
