பாகிஸ்தானில் “அல்லாஹூ அக்பர்” என்று கத்திக்கொண்டு தாலிபானும், பாகிஸ்தான் ராணுவமும் போர்புரிகிறார்கள். இதில் நேற்றுமட்டும் 150 பேர்கள் சுவனத்துக்கோ நரகத்துக்கோ (யார் சொல்கிறார்கள் என்பதை பொறுத்து) போயிருக்கிறார்கள்.
அல்லாவின் பாதையில் போர் புரியும் தாலிபான்கள் பக்கம் 15000க்கும் மேற்பட்டவர்கள் இருக்கிறார்களாம்.
அல்லாவின் பாதையில் போர் புரியும் பாகிஸ்தான் ராணுவத்தின் பக்கம் 30000 போர்வீரர்கள் களமிறங்கியிருக்கிறார்களாம்.
பாகிஸ்தானில் மார்க்கம் பொங்கி வழிகிறது. அமைதியைத்தான் காணவில்லை.
Fierce fighting in Pakistan offensive, toll tops 150
(AFP) – 1 hour ago
ISLAMABAD — Pakistani troops and Taliban militants have been locked in intense clashes on the sixth day of a major military assault in the tribal belt which has killed more than 150 people, the army said Thursday.
Twenty-four Taliban militants had been killed since the last death toll, a statement said, bringing the overall number to 137.
In addition, two soldiers have been killed in the offensive around South Waziristan, where authorities say scores of Al-Qaeda and Taliban-linked attacks have been masterminded, bringing the overall number of dead soldiers to 18.
Death tolls are impossible to confirm independently with the area closed and all communication lines down.
Some of the most "intense fighting" has been between Taliban-stronghold Sararogha and Jandola, home of a large military base, where the army said 13 militants had been killed and a series of bunkers and cave hideouts captured.
Around 30,000 troops are taking part in the offensive against an estimated 10-12,000 militants in the semi-autonomous and lawless tribal belt. Relief workers say that more than 120,000 people have been displaced by the fighting.
Taliban and Al-Qaeda-linked extremists have carried out a two-year campaign of suicide bombings and commando raids that have killed 2,280 people. A wave of attacks that began at the start of the month has left more than 185 dead.
Numerous previous offensives in the tribal belt have had limited success, costing the lives of 2,000 troops and ending generally with peace agreements that critics say gave the insurgents a chance to re-arm.
