Four terrorists were killed and two were arrested during one-hour long encounter, army sources said.

The suspected militants had driven up to the gate in a white Suzuki van that was carrying explosives, the official said.

Soldiers sealed off roads leading to the headquarters and ahelicopter was hovering over the area.

    Time to crush these bastards

    Geo News: TTP group claims GHQ attack

    KARACHI: Tahreek-e-Taliban (Ajmad Farooqi) group has claimed responsibility of attack on army headquarters.

    In a telephone call made to Geo News office, member of TTP group demanded halt of operation in northern areas, accountability of former President Pervez Musharraf, return of black water and closure of Western NGOs.

  • Observer says:

    To attack GHQ is an attempt to further weaken Pakistan!

    BUT the demands:

    - Halt of operation in northern areas,
    - Accountability of former President Pervez Musharraf,
    - Return of black water
    - Closure of Western NGOs

    are ALL genuine and should be considered VERY seriously. On the other hand the TTP will continue to use such cover tactics i.e continue to weaken Pakistan under the disguise of a “noble” agenda.

    • mayoos-paki says:

      observer
      these elements are anti-pakistan.These demands are just to pretend they are pro-pakistan.
      look at what they have done in peshawar yesterday.What is the justification for this bloody act?They need to be killed and crushed but only by Pak army without any help from the americans.

      • afzaalkhan says:

        @Mayoos-P

        I wrote : “On the other hand the TTP will continue to use such cover tactics i.e continue to weaken Pakistan under the disguise of a “noble” agenda.”

        What does that mean?

        What I meant” “Noble” agenda” is in fact to weaken Pakistan. I have said it before and repeat it. The current pro-US policy will in fact continue to add fuel to the TTP agenda. We have to distinguish between the different groupings. Some of them have genuine concerns while others are playing the Trojan Horses. If we really want to fight the Trojans successfully, then we must distinguish between these two groupings and ensure that the groups with honest intentions are treated like allies. The long term policy must be to disarm all the tribes. We can not have a state within the state!

      • afzaalkhan says:

        well atleast zia knew how to deal with these assholes unlike the current morons.

        • afzaalkhan says:

          Zia the father of Taliban mess lol

          u getting lesson from farzana bari? Thats so stupid dun even deserve an answer. This just shows ur information IQ lolz.

          Zia was father of Taliban wat a joke lolz. Dude read history again.

          Once again never denied and never will proud to be ziaist.

    • Observer says:

      You “TTP apologist” ;-)

  • afzaalkhan says:

    @observer

    They can take the demands and shove it up thier ass. Surrender unconditioanlly. So if the demands are geniune its give them licence to kill innocent ppl? Why dun they grow some balls and migrate to Afghanistan and really take the fight to the infidels?

    • Observer says:

      “So if the demands are geniune its give them licence to kill innocent ppl?”

      If the government has genuine concerns, then maybe that gives them license to kill innocent people? Does it give them license to torture people? And not to protect it’s citizens from American terror attacks?

      What I am saying is both sides are on the wrong path towards destruction. Both (certain Trojan Horses and the military) are playing in the hands of infidels and weakening Pakistan and the fight in Afghanistan.

  • afzaalkhan says:

    Geo News: 6 security men martyred, 4 terrorists killed in failed GHQ attack

    DG ISPR Athar Abbas confirmed killing of four terrorists whereas six security officials were also martyred in the operation. Two terrorists managed to flee. Search operation is underway in the area to nab the two terrorists at large. All roads leading to GHQ have been sealed after the incident.

  • afzaalkhan says:

    What I am saying is both sides are on the wrong path towards destruction. Both (certain Trojan Horses and the military) are playing in the hands of infidels and weakening Pakistan and the fight in Afghanistan.

    I dun care when they blast bomb killing innocents ppl, so dun matter how much they “care” or “genuine” thier concern are this is not the way and they need to be crushed. Also nothing to distinguish, time to distiguish is long gone. Put down arms and help govt to hunt down who wont.

  • Observer says:

    I couldn’t expect anything else from a military-apologist. You fail to make an analysis of the situation – even after so many innocent deaths on both sides. Your approach will only lead to more disaster, when a mad bull (mercenary armed forces of Pakistan) go after the culprits. More innocents will be killed and thus more trouble…just according to the western agenda. Go ahead and make the mess even worse.

    I am amazed that your beloved army is not able to stand up like men against the Americans – not even on their own soil, and here you are showing us “bharhkeN” on their behalf. If we are to believe that they are in fact “The armed forces of PAKISTAN”, then they MUST show us that they don’t take dictation from any foreigners (for money), that they don’t sell women and men for money!

    I am not asking to wage a war against the Yankees. What I ask for is at least make a little escalation. That could be to cut the supply lines – at least.

  • afzaalkhan says:

    When traitors from inside are attacking us there is no point in engaging outer enemy which is covert. Kill the traitors and u will deny enemy the chance to infiltrate it is this simple.

    I can also start name calling easily. But what will be the point. Let me state it clearly at this time I stand by my Army now if anyone has any balls come try it.

  • Observer says:

    The army is prostrating to their god=US might & money.
    The army even don’t have the balls to stop the American supply lines – let alone engage the enemy. I am not asking for it either since I know our army will not and cannot fight the Americans.

    And you still fail to analyse the situation and still want a mad bull like reaction, which will for sure worsen the situation. Once again: If we want to succeed then we need to distinguish between the groupings. We need to make a clear strategy, which ONLY has the aim to get Pakistan out of troubled water regardless of what foeriegners think and regardless of an “aid package” or not. We CANNOT and MUST NOT fight all the groups. Fight ONLY those who are acting on behalf of foreign powers or are clearly on the wrong path.

    Btw: Why do you want to send Pakistanis to be sent to Afghanistan?

  • afzaalkhan says:

    @nota

    atleast unlike the cowards asshole TTP who dun blast the bombs killing innocent civilians. They are bugs and needs to be crushed. U know now i realize Bush really got it, u r either with us or against us, works for USA, havent been attack.

    This is 2nd attack by TTP and both time they got thier asses kicked. So yeah try it again biatches.

  • afzaalkhan says:

    @nota

    No need to sent army javans in waziristan, just bombard it. Fine with me

  • afzaalkhan says:

    @nota

    wat all ur arguments gone now that u have started calling names. When 53 innocent ppl died in peshawar where was ur sympathy and scored injured? Where is ur sympathy for javan who got shahdat being attacked doing thier job? Enuff of this bull TTP groups who are patriots or not. If they are patriots then they should lay down arms. If they have greiviences with USA then go fuck off to Afghanistan and fight there. Otherwise they are traitors and thus be dealt accordingly.

  • afzaalkhan says:

    May be this is ok with TTP apologists.

  • Observer says:

    NO! It is NOT!!! Don’t act like a spoilt kid.

    What is your motto? Could it be : “Since the house is on fire let us warm ourselves.” Or should we have sensible approach and find out what is GOOD for Pakistan in the long term?

  • mayoos-paki says:

    Listen guys, have some patience. It is about time to clean Waziristan, it is getting way out of control. Attacking GHQ is no joke. What has happened inside is not even on media. Time for talks is gone and these animals deserve to be treated firmly. They are killing innocent people. What they have done in Peshawar yesterday is unblvbl. How is this helping their cause? And what is the cause anyway? America? America is not going anywhere so do we want our own ppl to get killed like this? They have no access to the Americans so Pakistanis will suffer in their brutal hands. I am one of the biggest critics of the army but only on their political interference, when it comes to my country’s security, I am with them. They are well equipped and capable enuf to crush the network without america’s support. IK and all have praised the army on today’s operation. I am sorry I cannot write a few facts here in a public forum but I will send all of you a private mail about what happened today.
    Please avoid foul language. I request.

  • afzaalkhan says:

    @nota

    This is truly laughable u accusing me of TK and mbo tactics when u start calling me digusting piece of shit and posting innane pics. Dude i know TTP getting thier ass kicked dun loose heart why dun u ask them to move to afghanistan I am sure they will get some success against ISAF lol

  • Observer says:

    This is exactly what the foereign powers want:

    - Animosity between the people from SWAT and the rest of Pakistan and especially the mercenary forces.

    - The Trojan Horses make bomb blasts and other terrorist activities –>Mercenary forces retaliate with heavy weaponry —-> Inncocent (mainly) are killed —> Revenge –> Innocent people are tortured….the ring goes on.

    - The Yankees kill and bomb mostly INNOCENT Pakistanis with the concent our mercenary army and the leadership—> Creation of anger—>Revenge—>More recruiting for Trojan Horses…….the ring goes on….

    The sad part is that people who consider themselves blessed with a normal IQ fall in this trap i.e. start favoring the mercenary forces. What we should do instead is to demand Pakistan made strategy to solve the menace!

  • afzaalkhan says:

    @observer

    Fine then wats ur solution. Lets hear it. I am all ears (no sarcasm) I would geniunely like to hear wats the solution.

  • afzaalkhan says:

    and both ur pics prove who is following the footsteps of mbo & co. Once again no solution, no desire for dialogue and I am anti-democratic zia apologist lol.

    waa-e-nakami maataa-e-karvaan jata raha
    karvaan ke dil se ehsas-e-ziyaan jata raha (iqbal)

  • Observer says:

    I doubt it will help, but I will give it try anyways.

    The Pakistani leadership need to tackle the issue with intelligence and not entirely with brutal force (I know I am asking too much from crooks). We need to reach out to the mainstream people of the area and isolate the extremists. Remember they started their mission with a few hundreds, and now they can be counted in thousands thanks non planned actions i.e. “Mad bull tactics”. That is what happens, when you refuse to think and take dictation from foreigners for $$$$$. What we need is to find home grown solutions to OUR problems/issues!

    Why not demand the supply lines of the foreigners in Afghanistan to be CUT IMMEDIATELY? Much of what is let through Pakistan will and has come back to those who fight against the army and those who target civilians.

    The MAIN AIM is to get the population on OUR side! DON´T alienate them!!! To be successful you have to listen to some of their genuine concerns!! One of them is to STOP the drone attacks on MOSTLY INNOCENT civilians. LEARN to say NO the the American agenda!!!

    This is also IMPORTANT!

    - Halt of operation in northern areas,
    - Accountability of former President Pervez Musharraf,
    - Return of black water
    - Closure of Western NGOs

    If we take these steps we will not please the Trojan Horses, but rather stop the recruitment to these militants! That means they will slowly die!!! Once the extremists are isolated and still refuse to cease activities, then we can handle the few remaining extremists with force (Maybe a local militia with some support)! Hopefully it will ONLY be the Trojan Horses who will be left at that time.

  • afzaalkhan says:

    @observer

    and if these demands not met the ofcoz they will do suicide attacks on pak soil and attack on GHQ right?

    So lets for argument sake say we accept all these conditions, then they come up with another set and then another set of demands so we keep accepting them where do we draw the line? As we learned during Swat operation turned out population was against them, surprise surprise, every jirga held in waziristan promises no foreigners and yet they stay in there.

    1 – Halt of operation in Northern areas: What will we get in return will they lay down thier arms? Will they accept Pak control? Will they allow Pak to arrest and detain anyone who is involved cross border attacks on ISAF in Afghanistan? Also will they hand over al he guys that have planted bombs in Pak and killed so many civilians. Will they cooperate to get rid of all foreigners from the area?

    2 – Trial of Mushy: Its already happened by SC decision now its upto Parliment, also BHC has directed an FIR against Mushy & co for Bugti trial so why not go to Courts?

    3 – Return of Blackwater? To where? Blackwater can be removed by Pakistani govt and they have to go through all diplomatic crap which is a process, even UN hiring Blackwater.

    4 – Closure of all westren NGO: Who died and made them king? Tom they say closure of all political parties would that be ok too?

    R they the state or is Pakistani govt the state? Once again, doesn’t matter how legit is the demands how it justifies thier attacks on pakistani soil? How its ok to suicide blasts? So tom I dun like something I should make a band and start killing the ppl till my demands are met and that will be ok cuz my demands are justified?

  • afzaalkhan says:

    @nota

    so ur justification is since army planning attack on Waziristan (btw its gonna happen now) its ok to attack GHQ, and yesterday peshawar attack by ur logic is ok too then. Fine then its war, they attack and Pak military will attack,. They use the best they have and Pak military will use the best they have including jets bombardment. War is war just dun cry.

  • Observer says:

    Are you living in a fools paradise?
    You are dealing with an area which has been BADLY neglected by the authorities since ages, and now you want them to drop their weapons all of sudden? Do you have any knowledge about their way of living? If you had a little clue you would have understood that it demands a long process to disarm them. It CANNOT be done over night. First of all we need trust building, investment in infrastructure, education, trade etc. Once we accomplish these things the disarmament will be a relatively easy task. Here I am speaking about the ordinary population/tribes in the troubled areas.

    Regarding the Trojan Horses: They need to be isolated by all means and yes the ultimate goal is to disarm them sooner rather than later and this process also needs time to succeed – not days/weeks but months.

    “Trial of Mushy: Its already happened by SC decision now its upto Parliment, also BHC has directed an FIR against Mushy & co for Bugti trial so why not go to Courts?”

    A piplya couldn’t have said it more “eloquently”. What an intellect :-(

    “Return of Blackwater? To where? Blackwater can be removed by Pakistani govt and they have to go through all diplomatic crap which is a process, even UN hiring Blackwater.”
    Hilarious…..Who the hell is UN. In Pakistan the law of Pakistan is supreme. If we say NO to Blackwater and other mercenaries, then there is NO way UN can allow them.

    ”Closure of all westren NGO: Who died and made them king? Tom they say closure of all political parties would that be ok too?”
    Please express yourself a little bit more in a conventional English. I don’t get what the heck you are trying to say.

    No matter you like or not. It is very simple. If you kill their INNOCENT women and children they will also get mad and kill INNOCENT women and children. Both acts are condemnable and sad. These are the facts no matter what you or I dream about!!!

  • Observer says:

    “So lets for argument sake say we accept all these conditions, then they come up with another set and then another set of demands so we keep accepting them where do we draw the line?”

    Why do you see ghosts? The governments has never had sincere negotiations. They have always made short time “solutions” and stopped negotiations in crunch times…..why? Because masa demanded to stop negotiations.

    Pak Army zindabad

    Geo News: GHQ operation completed with the arrest of injured terrorists’ top dog

    RAWALPINDI: Pak Army commandos, while arresting the wounded top dog of the terrorist attackers, Aqeel alias Dr. Usman winded up its operation at the General Headquarters here, while five more hostages were recovered and two commandos of the Pak Army martyred in the process.

    Pak Army spokesman, Major General Athar Abbas told that the commandos have completed the search operation at the security building in GHQ with the arrest of the last holed up terrorist, who in his last ditch effort trying to blow up the explosives that he carried injured himself besides some of the security personnel.

    The operation beginning this morning on the whole rescued 25 hostages in the first phase and at the end of the operation five more hostages were recovered, while three hostages and two Pak Army commandos were also martyred. Earlier, SSG commandos had killed four terrorists in successful operation at security building.

    The operation for the rescue of hostages taken on Saturday noon was started this morning at 6.00 A.M and SSG commandos with their great expertise successfully completed the operation in merely one hour and, thereafter, a search operation had started.

    D.G. ISPR, Major General Athar Abbas told Geo News that 25 hostages were safely freed, while three hostages were martyred by the terrorists’ firing and four terrorists were killed during the operation. The terrorists had taken hostage of 22 security men in a room, where one suicide bomber was guarding them. The commandos on the intelligence information were tasked to eliminate this suicide bomber in its initial raid in a bid to rescue the hostages safely, which was successfully completed, but in this process three hostages were martyred by terrorists’ firings.

    Sources said that the terrorists occupying the building had planted explosives at four places in order to blow it up if anyone tried to enter into the building, but the commandos did enter into the building in blitzing raid with great expertise and took action against the terrorists.

    I am not following the thread closely but anyhow I noticed @nota wrote

    “They use the best they have and Pak military will use the best they have including jets bombardment. War is war just dun cry.”

    What kind of stupendously mad argument is that.
    First of all @afzaal is not crying he is repulsed with these attacks and attackers.
    Secondly in a war between India and Pak nota argument would be why curse or bash Indian Army if you kill their men they will kill yours.
    Probably confused nota is not sure where he stands

  • afzaalkhan says:

    Now that operation is done, its time to find out how the heck that happened. I think its high time we move GHQ from Pindi to an area which is less populated and easier to control. At current location GHQ is very vulnerable. Good news Govt is launching waziristan operation.

    Geo News: Aqeel was mastermind of Sri Lankan cricket team attack

    10-11-2009_50731_l.gif

    RAWALPINDI: Muhammad Aqeel alias Dr. Usman, heading the gang of terrorists attacking GHQ, is also involved in several heinous incidents, who is now finally caught in the clutches of the heavy hands of law.

    Coming from Tehsil Kahota of Rawalpindi, Muhammad Aqeel alias Dr. Usman is the former sepoy of Army Medical Store. He was the mastermind and leader of the gang of terrorists, who had attacked the Sri Lankan cricket team and, thereafter, Aqeel alias Usman along with the accomplices avoiding arrest had fled to Waziristan. Aqeel accused of planning attack on the former President Pervez Musharraf was also wanted in the case.

    Lahore police said that Aqeel alias Dr. Usman belonged to Punjabi Tahrik-e-Taliban, which was set up three/four years ago and it had close ties with Baitullah Mehsud. The police had arrested a member of Punjabi Tahrik-e-Taliban, Zubair alias Nek Muhammad involved in June 18 attack on Sri Lankan cricket team, who had made starling disclosures about Aqeel alias Dr. Usman.
