| Wazibillies’ Casualty Numbers Contradict Government’s Numbers |
| 2004-03-18 |
| From Jihad Unspun In the previous operation in Wana in the area of Kalusha, the number of Pakistani deaths has risen to 22 - fifteen reported to be Pakistani Scouts and paramilitary, one Pakistani army soldiers and six other unidentified fighters. Thirty-one Scouts and army men have also been wounded. As the total scope of the incident is examined, a further rise in the number of deaths can not be ruled out. Our sources have said that what the government is reporting about the deaths of Mujahideen is blatantly false and that only six were martyred, including two foreigners, not 24 as previously reported by Pakistani officials. Nawaiwaqt is also reporting descepancies and say that there has been no proof of the claim that 24 fighters were killed by Pakistanis as the govt. The news agency is claiming that only two bodies have been discovered so far. They also claim that the operation was so intense and caused so much loss to the authorities that it was Pakistanis who stopped the operation to recoup from their losses and reorganize. Nineteen Scouts, four volunteers, and two political agents have been confirmed as missing and are suspected to have been taken to an undisclosed location as prisoners. Our sources also say that some 14 volunteers who were helping the Pakistani army in its crackdown and two other political agents have taken refuge in a safe location to avoid being captured. Mujahideen also seized thirteen troop transport trucks, three pick up cars, four cannons and three armored personal carriers, which they torched. Sixteen Mujahideen were captured by the paramilitary forces in the incident. The Mujahideen who are holding the 19 prisoners have offered to release them in the return for their fighters that Pakistan is holding. .... |

| #9 Sure as eggs is eggs these are some bad ass beardies up there. They've been the only people to give the Brits a kicking on a regular basis. Send in the Gurkhas, I say. My Grandad was out there prior to WW2 and they shit him up proper. (Sargeant Major James Ellison - Yorks Regiment prob). Not a direct quote - gathered by my father from Guinness fuelled ramblings. |

| #8 Does anyone remember the false report that came from these guys during the first month of Iraqi Freedom? Supposedly, there were tens of thousands of unreported dead GI's being kept on ice in Pakistan to prevent the American public from finding about the extent of the vicious resistance we were encountering. In that instance Americans who communicate with deployed personnel easily dispelled the rumor. Claiming excessive casualties on the Pakistani forces side would provide supporting "evidence" for the quagmire canard that would be more difficult to counter. |
