So all the terrorists had to do was to approach from the side wall? That still does'nt explain the one or two guys sitting inside the congregation before all hell broke loose. If these two terrorists had scaled the wall and come from the windows, lots of people would have noticed...

We have had enough of this TTP/Jihadi rubbish! - Lal Masjid Mullah Aziz and his ***** of a wife need to be shot. - Munawar Hassan of JI and other mouthpieces of the TTP Salafi thugs need to be tried for treason ; Swine like him need to locked up in solitary confinement for the rest of...

Its time we stop blaming the hindus, jews, christians, buddhists - did I leave anyone out?? - for all our troubles and focus on stomping on the home-grown salafi jihadi scumbags running the TTP!

Several residents inthe area have confirmed that the mosque was heavily guarded with ID and membership checks at every barrier. The fact as reported on GEO is that there were one or two terrorists already sitting inside the msoque before the mayhem began. How did the terrorist(s) sitting...

ISLAMABAD: Interior Minister Rehman Malik Friday said the terrorists are hell bent on destabilizing the country, and urged the Ulema to come together and declare a Fatwa against these terrorists. Talking to media following the suicide attack in Rawalpindi Parade Lane mosque, the Interior...

I agree - the pro-TTP Jihadi gang of thugs is at it again! If we want to stop these pro- Al Qaeda TTP/LeJ/JM Jihadi terrorists, we have to engage them in a manner that will truly put the fear of God in their hearts. We have to pound these swine into submission - playing nice or treating these...

Unfortunately, Mullah Omar's track record speaks for itself. He was the one who provided AQ the space to incubate and plan attacks around the world including the one on 9/11. When he was asked to turn over OBL in 2001 , he refused. He has shared the same bed with Al Qaeda for too long -...

By Sami Abraham WASHINGTON: US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has admitted that there were differences between Pakistan and the United States over the use of force against some of what she called pro-al-Qaeda militant organisations in the Pak-Afghan border areas known as Fata. In a...

Daily Times Editorial December 03, 2009 US President Barack Obama’s much-awaited announcement of his new Afghan strategy has evoked alarm and disappointment in equal measure. Obama has committed to sending 30,000 additional US troops, but also announced a withdrawal date starting from...

THIS is with reference to Kamran Shafi’s article “Why not a civilian head of the ISI?” (Nov 17) and Lt Col (retd) Mukhtar Ahmed Butt and Rizwan Ashraf’s letters to the editor (Nov 19). A lot has been written on the role of the ISI without knowing the inside story. The...

Daily Times By Aamir Yasin RAWALPINDI: Police have made no progress in an investigation into an attack on the house of columnist Kamran Shafi, despite the registration of a first information report (FIR). Shafi filed a complaint with the Wah Cantonment Police Station on the night of...

Lets get the facts right.....shall we? Ayesha Siddiqa received physical threats after she wrote Military Inc. including anonymous phone calls where she was told that her life was in danger. I'm amused to see how critics of the security establishment are invariably demonized as enemy...

Daily Times Editorial US President Barrack Obama is finally poised to unveil his much awaited revision of Afghan policy in a speech to be delivered at West Point Military Academy, besides being televised on Tuesday evening. While public attention in the US and elsewhere may remain focused on...

All I can say is I hope the majority of serving military professionals don't buy into such pro-jihadi propaganda. Unfortunately, the long-standing ties between the military and its proxy, the LeT, have helped LeT cultivate a cult hero status for itself. The fact that the GOP has indicted...

Patriot - the non-democratic involvement of the khaki establishment in the political domain is a known fact. Hell, PML-Q was created by the khakis! Musharraf was never a one man show - for the longest time he was the army chief and duly represented the military establishment's selfish...

Unfortunately, the military establishment has had an unenvious well-established track record of trying to pound all civilian opposition into submission. I recall several incidents under Musharraf's rule where politicians and media personalities were physically assaulted purportedly on orders...

DAWN Kamran Shafi So then, December is upon us, another year has gone by in the Fatherland’s struggle to keep its head above water, to be accepted as another half-civilised country in the comity of nations. The very same terrorists who were running amok during the Commando’s time in...

AA - Lets call a spade a spade - we are selectively kicking the crap out of TTP. The fact is that the PA is still reluctant to act against the Afghan Taliban or the Haqqani Network who are seen as 'strategic assets'. Unfortunately the symbiotic relationship between Al Qaeda and the Afghan...

Going beyond simply providing more Block 52 F-16s, the enhanced military assistance could include more advanced avionics and offensive capabilities for the F-16, AWACS, ground-to-air missile systems, as well as Apache helicopter gunships - all of the above could be provided by the US at a...

You are joking......right? Musharraf is partly the reason why we are in the mess we are in. And I'm not even going to mention his shenanigans against the judiciary and the media. If he had honestly dealt with the AQ/Taliban jihadi threat in the early days after 9/11, we would not have had...
