Pakistan lost over 50,000 civilians in war on terror
By News Desk
Published: January 3, 2018

Pakistan lost over 50,000 civilians in the war against terrorism since 2003, according to government figures.

The Global Terrorism Index, which profiles data on terrorism from across the world, had ranked Pakistan second among the countries most affected by terrorism.

A breakdown of the figures collected by Watson Institute shows that Pakistan lost 6,000 security personnel in the fight against terrorism, as compared to 2,357 US soldiers.

In 2013, 5, 379 Pakistanis were martyred in terrorist attacks followed by 5,496 in 2014; 3,682 in 2015; 1,830 in 2016 and 924 in 2017.

Last month, Pakistan’s Ambassador to the US Aizaz Chaudhary issued a similar fact sheet detailing Pakistan’s counter-terrorism efforts.


In his first tweet of the year, Trump tweeted that the US ‘foolishly’ gave aid to Pakistan over the course of 15 years but Islamabad remained deceitful by providing safe havens to ‘terrorists’ from Afghanistan.

However, despite the onslaught, the country’s civil and military leadership on Tuesday showed an unprecedented restraint, saying they would not act in haste.

The conflict that began in October 2001 as a hunt for the 9/11 attackers has turned into a vexed effort to keep Afghanistan’s divided and corruption-hindered democracy alive amid a brutal Taliban insurgency.

If Pak can offer such a Kurban without the blink of an eye, many a great staff is awaiting her in the very near future!!!! Elhamdulillah!!! If you're not ready to go for Kurban for your Dava, that Dava is meaningless...

I remember when suicide bombings become a norm in Pakistan, those were truly one of the darkest and horrible times in the history of Pakistan. I'm sure like me many other Pakistanis here have lost relatives or friends to terrorism. While suicide bombings are down but there is still serious risks of random attacks on Schools, Mosques and Churches as we have seen in the past few years.

There needs to be a serious review of the way Mullahs are allowed to run religious schools and brainwash uneducated youths. Foreign funded terrorists can be dealt with much ease when the home grown brain dead religious fanatics are put down, when your house is in order then no outside power(Gangodesh) will ever be successful in creating chaos in Pakistan.

Rant over!
