Air raids kill 10 militants in North Waziristan

The attacks took place in the Shawal area of the North Waziristan tribal region, hours after a suicide attack killed 18 people, including the home minister of the northeastern Punjab province.

Strikes in two areas of North Waziristan killed 50 militants and destroyed an ammunition cache, while strikes in the Khyber region killed another 15, an army statement said.

An Afghan delegation to Pakistan last week led by Foreign Minister Salahuddin Rabbani demanded “serious and practical measures” from Islamabad over militant attacks it said came from across the border.

Brig Shoffner also said that the ongoing military operations in Fata had forced many Taliban militants to seek refuge in Afghanistan.

A single line communiqué issued to media by the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) Wednesday said. Here the point arises why Afghanistan government is trusting India because India and western powers are only using Afghanistan as puppet to counter his two big enemies in region china and Pakistan. Such was the Afghan hatred for the Pakistani imposed Taliban on Afghanistan that they facilitated the United States Forces march to Kabul during the 2001 military intervention, riding on the shoulders of the Northern Alliance militias.

Angry Afghans voiced their frustration on the streets of Kabul on August 19 during Independence Day celebrations, saying they are also celebrating against Pakistan.

It should be noted that more than 1500 terrorists have been killed since armed forces of Pakistan launched military offensives in North Waziristan and Khyber Agency.

Peace talks between the Afghan government and Taliban were effectively halted late last month, when the death of the militant group’s leader, Mullah Omar, was confirmed and Mullah Akhtar Mohammad Mansour was appointed as his successor.
