Army now allowed to hunt terrorists across the border

ISLAMABAD: The finance minister informed the Senate on Monday that the Army had been empowered to act against terrorists across the border after obtaining concrete evidence that Afghan soil had been used to launch recent acts of terrorism in the country.

Monday’s session focused on several important issues including the current law and order situation and the exclusion of senators from consultations on the revival of powers of military courts to try civilians.

While responding to various points of public importance, Finance Minister Ishaq Dar said the prime minister had authorised the Army to take out terrorists wherever they might be.

He said it had been established beyond doubt that foreign soil had been used to orchestrate the two latest attacks — in Lahore and in Hayatabad. He recalled Pakistan’s commitment that its soil would not be allowed to be used for terrorism in any country and noted that time had come to ensure that no other country’s soil was used against Pakistan.

I don't know why they took so long to do it. Behind enemy lines operations were a reality they always will be. Its better to accept it now and work on it.

Good, Does this mean that excuse of civil leadership holding back will not be valid anymore?

Not sure how credible is this tweet but seems the Afghan army is asking to be slaughtered.

Afghan commandoes reach border areas to attack if attacked upon as interior ministry had asked Afghan army to retaliate hard if attacked

Attacking them would be a waste of perfectly good ammunition. Unless they make active efforts to interdict our operation, ignore them.

Wasting some of them would also send a signal to others, i say we give them shock treatment.

Better still, make them turn against Afghan government and fight on our behalf. We can give them better food, facilities, and money.

Just throw few open bags of chars or heroine on them they forget to fight start smelling powder. That's all

should have been ages ago. why wait for own civilians to get slaughtered first.

In other words they reached areas where ttp/JA/Raw dogs are hiding. So in-actual they will try to protect their rented pigs.

It is true. in fact they had deployed more troops and massive movement towards Nigarhar province where there are sanctuaries of Daish/ISIS.

It is obvious the Afghan Army is protecting Daish cells in Ningarhar.
