Karzai accuses Pakistan of firing rockets

[IndiaIsrael]

Afghanistan's President
Hamid Karzai has accused
Pakistan of firing more
than 450 rockets into
Afghan territory over the
past three weeks. He has blamed Pakistani forces
for the attacks which have
killed 36 people, including 12
children. Officials say the attacks have
been concentrated in the
eastern provinces of Kunar
and Nangarhar from where
Nato forces have withdrawn. Afghan border officials say
Pakistani Taliban have moved
into the districts. President Karzai said he had
raised the rocket attacks with
Pakistani President Asif Ali
Zardari at a regional anti-
terrorism conference in
Teheran on Saturday. "They should be stopped
immediately," Associated
Press quoted President Karzai
as saying. And "if they are not being
carried out by Pakistan,
Pakistan should make it clear
who is behind the attacks," he
said. The president said he had
discussed the attacks with the
Afghan Nato commander Gen
David Petraeus and US
Ambassador Karl Eikenberry
on Sunday. Meanwhile, an Afghan
defence ministry spokesman
warned that Afghanistan
would retaliate if attacked. "The government of Pakistan
should understand that there
will be a reaction for killing
Afghan citizens," AP quoted
Mohammad Zahir Azimi as
saying. Afghan officials say about
2,000 families have fled the
border areas which have come
under fire from Pakistan. In recent weeks, Islamabad
has also complained of a
number of cross-border
militant attacks in Pakistan's
north-west and has lodged
official protests with Kabul over the incursions. Securing the long, porous
border that divides Pakistan
and Afghanistan has been a
major challenge for the two
countries. The tribal areas on Pakistan's
western border are infested
with various insurgent groups
and Afghanistan and Nato
have long complained that
Pakistan should do more to curb militants on its soil. Many of the various militant
groups along the frontier are
closely linked.

I believe another invitation to the Mayor of Kabul is in order to watch some live fire exercises by us.
Time to remind him that his Kingdom of Kabul needs to get in line with the program and co-operate to finish off the Taliban rather than play a blame game.

Wonder how they'd do that. Do they even have a decent sized functional army?

 

[Ignited Mind]

it is so very funny , first these afgan's behave like super human beings and when pakistan sow's them their level they start crying foul and shamefuly seek help, we must nuke these afgan's

Ok stop playing 'nuke-nuke' now.

 

[Jungibaaz]

As a Pakistan, i regret the civilian deaths.

But no regrets for retaliating against constant Afghan militant attacks and ANA attacks on Pakistani soil.
Good Job PA!

Nope they don't. The best they can do is attack un-alert Pakistani border check posts

 

[King Solomon]

Puppet Karzai is angry that Pakistan is targeting the NATO proxies along Pakafghan border instead of Afghan Taliban as a response to the cross border attacks...

1,000 Taliban fanatics freed

Corrupt courts release fighters to strike again

MORE than 1,000 Taliban fighters seized by British troops have walked free from Afghanistan's courts in the past year, The Sun can reveal.

The corrupt and shambolic legal system in Helmand province has convicted fewer than ONE IN 20 murderous insurgents.

That leaves the rest at liberty to kill and maim our brave troops again.

Our revelation is another grim blow for the heroic British soldiers risking their lives every day to bring peace and stability to the lawless area.

A military source said last night: "The Helmand justice system is next to useless - and it's down to a mixture of corruption, inepitutde and a lack of capacity to process and convict so many cases.

Evil

"It is also bad for our morale, as there is little more dispiriting than seeing all our hard work in finding and catching some really evil people go to waste when they are freed just as fast."

Helmand's judges convict a pitiful 3.5 per cent of insurgents handed over to them by UK forces and local cops.

The conviction rate for Taliban fanatics seized solely by British forces is just seven per cent.

In the past year, just 82 out of 1,175 suspected insurgents arrested by UK soldiers were convicted and sentenced.

A large proportion of the Taliban have been arrested by SAS and SBS squads on special night-time missions.

Frustrated British diplomats admit they are struggling to make the most of the ongoing military surge in Helmand.

And the province's justice system has been identified as a serious weak point.

There are already plans to build three more courts to try insurgents in the badland areas of Marjeh, Nad-e-Ali and Gereshk - and raise prosecutors' pay.

Experts last night blamed the justice shambles on President Hamid Karzai's ministers.

Tory MP and ex-diplomat Rory Stewart said: "No amount of foreign courage or money is going to make up for an Afghan government which isn't taking responsibility for its people."

An MoD spokesman said: "Helping Afghans improve law and order is fundamental to help prevent the country from re-emerging as a base for terrorist activity."

You dont need a "decent sized functional army" to attack. All you need is will power and courage. BTW..when was the last time India retaliated when Pakistanis voilated ceasefire. And India does have a "decent sized functional army" rite.

Lemme see. A bunch of rag tag Afghans thrown together with rifles who actually ran away the last time a NATO post was attacked by militants and are more prone to shoot each other than anything else against a disciplined military armed with sophisticated weapons and trained to take on a much larger adversary (India). Karzai needs to do some serious rethinking.

Pakistan denies firing rockets into Afghanistan

ISLAMABAD—Pakistan's army is denying it fired hundreds of rockets into two eastern Afghan provinces over the past three weeks.

Army spokesman Maj. Gen. Athar Abbas said Monday that no rounds have been intentionally fired into Afghanistan. He said it is possible that a few rounds may have accidentally fallen into Afghanistan when security forces targeted militants carrying out cross-border attacks into Pakistan.

Afghan President Hamid Karzai said Sunday that hundreds of rockets have landed on Afghan soil.

The Pakistani spokesman claimed there have been five major attacks on border posts in the last month by groups of up to 300 militants who crossed into the country from Afghanistan. He said 55 paramilitary soldiers and tribal police have been killed in the attacks and 80 others injured.
