The KPK intelligence has really picked up it seems. Although the blasts are happening every day in some areas of KPK, some progress is being made on the Bannu jail incident, and now this catch,

well if it's anything like the past, they would ''mind'' (more just to snub the military government at the time) but now i think things have changed and for once they'd be a little more understanding about detaining these types of people indefinitely as they do pose a major security threat to the country

me personally, i'd prefer them under military guard...preferably in a better secured city


Bannu was a total security failure and a huge embarassment to Pakistan; we can't afford such things to repeat ever again.....


these are very dangerous individuals, they have no right to be roaming free.......they surrendered that right when they decided it was okay to terrorize and kill everyone that gets in their way - even innocent civilians
