| Pak troops fire at Indian post |
| 2008-06-08 |
| JAMMU: In yet another incident of unprovoked cross-border firing, Pakistani troops targeted second battalion of Eighth Gurkha Rifles at the Krnati post along the Line of Control in Poonch district's Mendhar area, official sources said in Jammu. Sources also said intermittent firing was reported for more than an hour at the post on Thursday. They said the Gurkhas returned the fire without suffering any casualty. Army spokesperson Lt Col S D Goswami, however, refused to comment on the latest ceasefire violation. Pakistani troops had resorted to firing at Regal in Samba, Salhutri in Mendhar and Tangdhar in Kupwara sector in violation of ceasefire agreement. |

| #5 Wonder how Indians feel about "counter-terrorism" training/funding Paks receive from USA? Likely similar to the way we feel about Israeli spies. |

| #4 I'd like to send the Gurkas into FATA and let them get a crack at the foreign and PakiWaki flotsam floating around that place. |

| #3 I think the Pak army wants to provoke an incident that will destroy the ceasefire. The ISI has restarted pro-"Khalistan" activities with Sikh terrorists being funded and trained. They seek to revive the militancy in the Indian Punjab with Kashmiri groups acting in concert with "Khalistani" ones. Jihadi infiltration across the LOC is up, as are attacks. Pak army chief Kayani has so far refused to have the Pak army trained and equipped in counter-insurgency and used on the western border with Afghanistan. They remain on the eastern border with India, where they provide the backup that the various terrorist groups require. Pakistan's nuclear weapons provide the space for this terrorism to continue, dissuading any conventional Indian retaliation for attacks by Pakistan's proxies. |

| #1 Rule No. 1 on firing at Gurkhas - DO NOT FIRE AT GURKHAS! And this is the army which cannot engage in the FATA? |
