Any one who thinks India or Pakistan will be able to take an inch of land from each other is living in dreamland.....please come out of this conspiracy theories and trust the present and the wake up to the reality.

Sir, ask this to Pakistanis and not me! I am a neutral kashmiri just expressing my humble opinion.

ISLAMABAD: Gunmen dressed as paramilitary police killed nine foreign tourists in an unprecedented attack in the Himalayas of Nanga Parbat on Sunday, in a security failure bound to embarrass the new government just weeks after it took office.

The bodies of the victims were shifted to Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (Pims) in Islamabad for post portem and other legal formalities.

Moreover the National Assembly unanimously passed a resolution condemning the Gilgit incident, whereas Federal Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan declared that the attack on foreigners was an attack on Pakistan.

Spokesperson for the proscribed Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan, Ehsanullah Ehsan, talking to Dawn.com from an undisclosed location claimed that the Janud-e-Hafsa faction of the militant organisation had carried out the attack.

Ehsan said that the attack was carried out to "avenge the killing of their front-rank leader, Waliur Rehman, and to express anger at the international community for its continued support to drone strikes."


The gunmen stormed into a base camp, killing Chinese and Ukrainian climbers in an area of the far-flung north not previously associated with violence or Islamist militancy.

Officials said five Ukrainians and a number of Chinese were killed. One Pakistani also died and one Chinese survivor has been recovered, the government said.

The climbers were staying at a first camp, around 4,200 feet, for Nanga Parbat, one of the highest mountains in the world, in the Diamer district of Gilgit-Baltistan.

“There were nine foreigners and one Pakistani. The incident took place around 10:00 pm (1700 GMT Saturday). They were mountaineers,” Diamer police official Mohammed Naveed told AFP.

“Gunmen came and opened fire on them. It is confirmed that they have been killed,” he said. Five Ukrainians were among the dead, Ukraine's ambassador to Pakistan Vladimir Lakomov told AFP.

Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar told parliament that one Chinese survivor had been rescued.

The Himalayas in northern Pakistan offer some of the most spectacular climbing in the world. Its peaks are a magnet for experienced mountaineers, often from Europe.

While Gilgit-Baltistan has seen deadly sectarian violence targeting Pakistan's Shia Muslim minority, foreigners have never before been targeted in such a remote part of the region, which officials said was inaccessible by road.

Helicopters were dispatched to recover the bodies, and that police and paramilitary had been ordered into the area, officials said.

Nisar told parliament that the attackers were dressed as Gilgit Scouts, a paramilitary police unit, and accessed the camp with the help of two guides whom they kidnapped.

“They abducted two guides and through them reached the area. One guide was killed in the shoot-out. One is alive. He is now detained and being questioned,” he said.

The interior minister conceded there was no police or security escort for foreigners up in that area of the mountains.
 
Isolate Pakistan, that's the Islamist enemy's plan - the more isolated it is the easier it is to pick off, the easier it is to scare them into submission -- And the more they can attack innocent people, the more they make the case that there is no protection, and the govt cannot be relied upon for something as basic as safety and security, and then even society cannot be depended upon for basic decency and humanity.

Poor intelligence and ISI should be answerable for its incompetency, correct these white elephants ISI, FIA, IB, CID/Special Branch so people will not blame on others. This is what we received after allocation of 627 billion on defense and heavy allocation on civil intelligence & security organizations.
 
MIRANSHAH: Pakistan's umbrella Taliban movement on Sunday claimed responsibility for killing nine foreign climbers in the Himalayas, saying it was carried out by a previously unknown faction.



Spokesman Ehsanullah Ehsan telephoned AFP to claim responsibility on behalf of "one of our factions, Junood ul-Hifa," to avenge the May killing of the Pakistani Taliban deputy leader in a US drone strike.

Terrorists creating a bad name for both of our countries. There should be operations in both the countries to screen them out and shoot them to hell. :angry:
 
haha you joker , Pakistan will always be there no matter what , it¡¯s better for Pakistan to identify ttp as tehrik e taliban pakhtunkhwa , once this is done then SOBs like Hakeemullah,Ehsanullah etc will not be able to hide behind the good name of Pakistan and will instead be identified by who they really are -> sold out Pakhtuns from the tribal areas of Pakistan

Also the provincial government and the people of Pakthunkhwa will feel more accountable as association with Pakthunkwa will be laid bare, as of now they are busy with denial tricks to put off this association ( which is very real ) and therefore are not being held accountable.

They will be held accountable for allowing (and in many cases supporting) these dregs in their province

TTP going pashtunist would be an interesting situation...implications of it would be disastrous for integrity of Pakistan.....they are not your baloch rebels who cant even kill men of paramilitary force like FC....They have already made the joke out of durand line, what would happen if they become separatists?. They would announce FATA as part of islamic emirate of Afghanistan and would involve Afghan taliban and even Afghan nationalists who dreams of loy afghanistan.....if you deal with population of FATA in bangladesh style, you would antagonize entire pashtun belt....
Afghan taliban plus TTP can bend the knees of Pak army very easily, after all pak faujis are quick to surrender than fighting to the last men...what will you do? Nuke Afghanistan and FATA? You do that and America would nuke your punjab.
 
Where are the TTP supporters gone now? All this reaction for drone strikes or PA's operation in tribal areas? There should be no mercy for terrorists. Whatever little tourism we had left is now going to end thanks to cursed taliban mullah.
 
TTP hires mountaineers now?
That's new...
because the killers got away with mountaineering gear......
that gear can only be used by trained persons..
 
but TTP claimed the responsibility, so no doubt left there, but one of them could be the killer, but where is the weapon and kits (which went missing)....any update if Security forces are still conducting aerial search?
