well i think it is INDIAN retaliation for the attack on its embassy.....the worrying thing is that both countries are going all in on this one....and i wonder who will get up from the table victorious....

both countries are playing with fire.....someone needs to make a move inorder to make a truce!!

The terrorists are desparate and want to convey the message they can speed up attacks if operation launched in waziristan anyway all of them have been killed in just 50 minutes.

Its good that now they are trying hard to get their asses grilled though they are killing innocent people but for how long.


When Pakistan opposses Kerry Lugar Bill when karzai and his pro-Indian elements join hands, then support for these TTP terrorists against Pakistan is very easy.

Anyway we are going to eleminate them no matter an year or more but we are doing it.

Terrorists Prevented From Infiltrating GHQ
October 10, 2009


US-linked Private Security Firms’ Involvement Suspected
Breaking News Exclusive | PakistanKaKhudaHafiz.com

An attempt to attack the General Head Quarters of the Pakistan Armed Forces has been foiled earlier today as four militants were shot dead while trying to enter the premises. ISPR (Inter-Services Public Relations) spokesman Major General Athar Abbas confirmed that four attackers dressed in army uniforms started firing on guards when stopped at the gate.


RAWALPINDI – Loud gunfire and blasts were heard near the Pakistan army’s headquarters in Rawalpindi at 11:30 this morning after a team of gunmen brandishing assault rifles and grenades tried to break into the fiercely guarded compound on Saturday, sparking a raging gun battle with troops outside Islamabad.

According to witnesses, four militants in a white Suzuki van attempted to enter the GHQ premises from gate number one. When intercepted by the checkpoint guards, they started firing indiscriminately and throwing hand grenades while making their way towards gate number two, where security officials promptly acted, shooting the terrorists dead after a short but intense pitched battle. It is not clear how many security officials were martyred in the exchange.

The entire area has been cordoned off and roads leading to the GHQ have been closed for traffic, and army helicopters have begun hovering over the GHQ.

The van is said to contain explosives while sophisticated weapons and communication equipment have been found both inside the van as well as on the dead militants, which points towards possible involvement of US private security agencies operating in Islamabad. These private security firms are employed by the US Embassy in Islamabad, and have been provided with banned sophisticated weapons after special approvals were obtained from Interior Minister Rehman Malik and Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani.

Security forces recently raided the offices of one such agency (Inter Risk) and recovered a large cache of sophisticated heavy weapons, while arresting its owner Ali Jaffar Zaidi.

Investigation conducted by police revealed that Inter Risk had made an agreement with an American security company, DynCorp, to provide security to US installations and diplomats and security personnel along with protecting their interests in Pakistan.

The firm was also asked to recruit security guards, especially those who can qualify for joining Special Services Group, and arranged a place for their training.

Sources said that during interrogation the accused disclosed names of some bigwigs, including officials of the Interior Ministry, allegedly involved in provision of licences of prohibited bore weapons to the security firm.

But the investigators are reluctant to take the ‘big shots’ into custody, the sources said, adding that a request had been made to the government by senior police officers.

With this morning’s attack on the General Head Quarters of the Armed Forces of Pakistan, one hopes serious action will be taken to shut down these US private security firms and their training centers, as well as in investigating the involvement of the US Embassy as well as interior ministry officials in anti-state activities

A Brig and a Lt Col also embraced shahdat during this attack.

Anybody who thinks that this was a security lapse then i think he needs to get his brains examined.

The terrorists were stopped where they were supposed to be stopped and the guards did what they were supposed to and trained to do.

i will not dwell on the security arrangements that are put in place at the GHQ, but would like to tell you that the attack was a complete failure and they were unable to achieve what they came for.

We need to wait till we get more info on the death of these senior officers so that we can see if they were killed as a target or were they just the passerbys who got caught in the gun fight.

The media is playing a very sensible, mature and balanced role and i expect members here to do the same. Let's not try extracting 'fun' from just every event!

The irony is that just every road passes near the GHQ, all the traffic, both vehicular and human make their way to their home or offices via the roads that are in near vicinity of the GHQ, though segregation has been done to the extent possible while keeping in view the fact that the civilians shouldnt be bothered but then the area is very densely populated and that's an obvious problem.

[Xeric]

The two terrorists that were at large have been found and reportedly some action is underway to kick their a$$es!!!

i hope they are caught alive!
