[Iran Press TV Latest] Pro-Taliban militants have claimed responsibility for a suicide bombing in Pakistani-controlled Kashmir, vowing fresh attacks on security forces. | Um, guys, you're sending the jacketwallahs after targets on the Pakistani side of the line. You're supposed to attack on the Indian side, remember? Good Muslims do not wage jihad against other Muslims. (Unless they are taqfirs or apostates, but even so the Hinjoos must be targetted first. Srsly.) |
On Friday, Pakistani warlord Maulvi Nazir, who leads his own wing of Tehrik-e-Taliban in South Waziristan, announced the withdrawal of his group from a 2007 agreement with the Pakistani government. Nazri's spokesman, Shams Ullah, said the group would continue targeting checkpoints, military convoys and bases until the United States stopped its drone attacks on the tribal areas where Washington claims Taliban fighters are holed up.
| That sounds about right: kill Pakistanis because you're mad at America. |
Elsewhere, four security forces were killed and more than a dozen others were wounded in a remote-controlled bomb attack on a road near the main town of Miranshah in North Waziristan.
Pakistan remains the victim of Taliban-linked insurgency, with bombings and terror attacks targeting different parts of the country, particularly in the northwest were it borders insurgency-ravaged Afghanistan.
| A shoot-yourself-in-the-foot kind of a victim, but a victim nonetheless. |
US drone attacks on Pakistani soil have long irked Islamabad officials who believe the army's crackdown on militants in the northwest is progressing well and unwanted US assistance is not required.
| How long? Very long. Longer than we can remember. Practically forever, in fact. |
