[DESERT FIGHTER]

That's a large no. of casualties.
Bound to have a negative effect on Pak-Turkey relations.

Lmao, as if we care bout idiots fighting foreign wars.

 

[Goenitz]

Until state declare such recruitment valid, these are terrorists..Whether they fought for ISIS, FSA or Iranian regime. Glad someone of them didn't explode in any city of Turkey. However, this org should be banned. What if some of its member do something in Gulf, or in US etc...

 

[Windjammer]

There are dozens being killed in Syria on a daily basis.....fighters, mercenaries or otherwise...... wonder why one never hears about their nationalities.

 

[DESERT FIGHTER]

Apparently if you dare fight against the Khalifat, you are sectarian. Or you are against Pakistan’s interests and deserve to die.

So you would have no problem if we recruited Iranian sunnis to fight our wars?

You are using a sectarian card & Pakistani blood for your proxy wars.

 

[Pan-Islamic-Pakistan]

Sorry not to be sorry bros...

Brother, we give you all our blessings to kill these traitors.

Say Bismillah, their blood is halal.

50 Pakistani fighters killed in Turkish strikes in Syria — Pakistan security officials

KARACHI: Up to 50 Pakistani fighters have been killed in military action by the Turkish army and Syrian regime forces in Syria’s last major rebel stronghold in the northwest of the country, two Pakistani security officials said this week.

Fighting has escalated dramatically in recent days in Idlib in northwest Syria, where Turkey has sent thousands of troops and military vehicles in the last month to counter Syrian government forces’ advances in the last remaining bastion held by rebels. On the opposite side in Syria’s nine-year conflict is Russia, which supports President Bashar Assad and has also carried out airstrikes in recent days.

On Thursday, Turkey and Russia agreed to a cease-fire deal after talks in Moscow to contain a conflict that has displaced nearly a million people in three months.

“The number of those [Pakistanis] killed is more than 50,” a security official told Arab News on condition of anonymity as he was not authorized to speak to the media about the issue.

A second official, from Pakistani intelligence, confirmed that 50 Pakistanis had been killed.

A poster showing 47 Pakistani militiamen associated with Zainebiyoun Brigade is being shared by Zainebiyoun on its Facebook page on March 1, 2020 with an Urdu caption that reads “today is Shabb-e-Jumma (Night of Juma) Surah Fateh for the martyrs of Zainebiyoun).

Pakistan’s foreign office did not respond to Arab News queries when contacted to comment on this news.

The deceased likely belong to Zainebiyoun Brigade, a militant group that was placed on the US Treasury’s financial blacklist in January 2019 and comprises Pakistani Shias fighting in Syria and Iran.

According to media reports, Zainebiyoun Brigade has over 800 Pakistanis fighting in Syria. The group’s fighters are allegedly trained by Iran’s Quds Force, the military unit responsible for projecting Iran’s influence via proxies across the Middle East.

“Following the clashes in Syria’s Idlib [region], 21 members of Fatemiyoun and Zainebiyoun brigades were martyred,” Iran’s Hawzah News Agency reported on Sunday, adding that 18 of the deceased belonged to the Zainebiyoun Brigade.

“This is not the first incident where Pakistanis have been killed in Syria,” Pakistani security analyst Muhammad Amir Rana said, adding that Pakistani militants fighting for both Daesh and Assad’s forces, had been killed in Syria in the past. He said many Pakistanis had also been arrested upon their return from Syria but could not provide an exact number of fatalities.

Coffin of Naver Khan, a Pakistani militiaman of Zainebiyoun Brigade, is being taken for funeral at Qom city of Iran on March 1, 2020.

Defense analyst Brig. (R) Mahmood Shah said a small number of Sunni militants had also gone to Syria to join Daesh.

“People from the Shia community have religious affinity with Iran, Iraq and Syria and sacred places over there, so their number may be high,” Shah told Arab News. “With war intensifying in the coming days, more deaths [of Pakistanis] are expected.

Last month, Pakistani police claimed to have arrested an important member of the Zainebiyoun brigade from the port city of Karachi.

Its time that campaign should be launched in Media. Their names and pictures should be shown and requests should be made to Parents to stop their young men for being the pawns of another countries. Strict action should be taken against clerics and other people who are trying to recruit or brainwash people and borders and internet should be monitored for this stuff

 

[Pan-Islamic-Pakistan]

Apparently if you dare fight against the Khalifat, you are sectarian. Or you are against Pakistan’s interests and deserve to die.

Pakistani citizens should not join militaries of other countries without consent of their country. It is a very low shot which Iran did to recruit our people for cannon fodder.

Use your own citizens in your wars.

 

[Rana4pak]

Thx God ,good riddance 50 less terrorist

 

[Zulfiqar]

Can't have sympathies for them.

However, I do hope that their irani recruiters die miserably from corona virus.

They deserve it for exploiting these Pakistanis as cannon fodder.

 

[hussain0216]

Good stuff

Don't become mercenaries fighting abroad unless it's in Pakistan's interests

Kahan se bana diya hain yar yeah fighters. Kill them or put them in jails. I didn't matter if they fight for the right side. They must just not fight unless un country army. Or ordered by the state.

 

[Rukarl]

Can't have sympathies for them.

However, I do hope that their irani recruiters die miserably from corona virus.

They deserve it for exploiting these Pakistanis as cannon fodder.

Iran gives them job. Yes, employment and fixed salary for them and their families. No one forced them. They willingly accepted to fight for their religious ideas. They get money on top of it.

Wether right or wrong, that is another discussion.

 

[Hack-Hook]

cleaning the Garbage .... not sorry for them, anyone that goes to fight for another country or any SECT , is a traitor to Pakistan and Islam .. Islam is a unified religion , Shia/Sunni/Ahmadi/Agha Khani/this and that all are man made trash , Islam is what Muhammad Pbuh brought to this world given to him by Allah .

And hope the standard apply to the one who are fighting in Bahrain

 

[V. Makarov]

A mercenary has no religion, no moral values or ethics. He is just someone cursed by Allah to be slain for an unknown cause for some strong-man, whom he might not have even seen in his life.

I must say that I will pray for their forgiveness from Allah nonetheless.

I will not blame, ever, the Turkish, for their action of slaying them. They had it coming because of their curse.

 

[Pakistansdefender]

Nonethless they were all citizens of Pakistan.

Do were the taliban or other terroist.
Who ordered them to go and fight foreign Wars?
