'Afghan Army fired at post in Mohmand Agency'
2007-03-03
GHALANAI: The Afghan Army fired “unprovoked shots” at a Pakistani forward post in Mohmand Agency, said a Pakistan military spokesman on Friday. “It was unprovoked firing, but nobody was injured,” Maj Gen Waheed Arshad told Daily Times over the telephone from Islamabad. A senior administration official in Ghalanai, the headquarters of Mohmand Agency, said the post manned by paramilitary forces in Kudakhel had been attacked in the morning. “The firing continued for hours, but there were no casualties on the Pakistan side,” the official told Daily Times. He did not clarify whether the post was damaged or not, only saying that Pakistani security forces had retaliated by firing.

#9  I have travelled highways between the frontiers that divide Peru with both Chile and Ecuador, and there are posted warnings of minefields on both sides. Pashto parasites who hide in NWFP and Balochistan, deserve the same treatment. It's better to blow them up at the border, than to waste a bullet on those subhumans in Kandahar or Kabul.

#7  Hell yes, nice fricking knock on the door. To bad the Afhans didn't have some heavy weapons.

Be interesting to see if we have more of these wake up raids.

Right, a message sent by other means indeed, And just why did they not fire back?
