PAF Airmen Been Radicalized: WikiLeaks
A section of the airmen of the Pakistan Air Force are being radicalized and are sabotaging aircraft to prevent them from being used in operations on the Afghan border, a latest US diplomatic cable leaked by WikiLeaks has said.
The cable quotes a commander of the Pakistan Air Force saying that a section of the airmen are being radicalized.
"You cannot imagine what a hard time we are having trying to get them to trim their beards," the cable quoting the official said.
The leaked cables, accessed by NDTV, said the airmen - most of whom come from rural background - have been indulging in acts of "petty sabotage" to prevent deployment of aircraft in support of security operations along the Afghan border where Pakistani forces are fighting the Taliban.
