US Special Forces conducted multiple raids in Pakistan

[ssheppard]

US Special Forces have conducted multiple clandestine raids as part of a secret war inside Pakistan's tribal areas where Washington is pressing to expand its drone attacks, a report in Britain’s Guardian newspaper said.

Citing a former Nato officer, the Guardian said these incursions, only one of which was previously reported, occurred between 2003 and 2008. It involved helicopter-borne elite soldiers entering through the border at night. The incursions were never declared to the Pakistani government, the report said.

The source said Pakistan was kept in the dark about the operations and that the United States would not officially confirm the procedures.

After the only publicly acknowledged special forces’ raid in September 2008, Pakistan's foreign office condemned it as ‘a grave provocation’, while the Pakistani military threatened retaliatory action.

TTP is also special force which is used in day light.
Balckwater is special force to target ISI officers and their families because from begining indians are unhappy with ISI.
Tactics of above attacks are same what indians have employed in occupied Kashmir. Do we have connections here?

Seriously dear. You are plagued by severe anti-India desease.

How can India ask USA to use a third party (black water) to kill "ISI" staff? I say way too creative.
And yes....USA raids in Pakistan is surely have a connection with Kashmir.

Sir, I thought Pakistani officials denied the Blackwater presence in Pakistan despite the report given to Pakistani officials by Iranian Intelligence Service? (MOIS)

Blaming any country without strong evidence is not right, India might be funding the TTP might not, who knows. Even if they are what else would you expect, we have had 3 wars with them and constantly fighting in one way or the other since independence, lets not be as immature as the indian media who blames everything on ISI just for the sake of it, lets cross the bridge when we get to it.
As far as Blackwater is concerned that sure is a serious issue but before blaming blackwater we should be asking questions from our concerned authorities for their presence.
Remember once an American helicopter violated Indian Air space during the earth quake relief operations in kashmir and they were forced to land and released after a serious warning.
First we should take care of things at our end and then we can always take anyone head-on.

Blackwater, XE or Dyncorp whatever the name maybe but one thing is for sure that these private companies are upto something.
The recent arrest of a Retd.Subaidar (army) for his involvement in the attacks on the senior army officers in Isb had close ties with the owner of Inter-Risk partner of Dyncorp.

Pakistan official means interior minister and his appointees!
We had a regime change just before all the action.
I thouhgt Iran will be more familiar with the concept of regime change it has already happened thrice in past and with Iranian experience they realised it is much cheaper to destabalise the states by installing puppet govts. instead of going to war.
Loyalties of our ministers lies not with Pakistan.
Presence of Blackwater is so obvious that it does not require any intelligence information. They are renting houses... they are collecting data of Pak army leadership. They are working in tendom with RAW operatives well established in our civil services sector.

WOW! WOW! WOW!

This is a dangerous situation! Is there no one in the army that can stop this "Blackwater"?

Why don't ISI assassinate them?

The security and intelligence apparatus is working round the clock, their progress in this regard is not made public for obvious reasons.
As far as assassinations are concerned the ISI does not follow the tactics of Mossad or CIA.

 

[Ababeel]

But the traitors either from armed forces or govt must be assasinated as a lessons to others trying to join them due to lucrative offers and selling their imaans.

 

[Barrett]

This is a serious issue , should be discussed in National Assembly.

The 'Democratically' Elected Parliament of Pakistan unanimously passed a resolution against the Drone attacks, and then what happened ?

America the champion of Democracy

 

[Ababeel]

As long as strict actions are not taken these culprits will not be fearful of the rit of the govt and security agencies.
