While Pakistan’s Ambassador to the US insists that the closing of the border crossing between Pakistan and Afghanistan to NATO traffic is going to be very temporary, anger over last week’s NATO attacks on Pakistani troops continues to spill over into violence inside Pakistan, with NATO vehicles continuing to be attacked.
The latest attack on Sunday evening targeted an industrial site in Islamabad, and saw unnamed insurgents destroying 28 NATO tankers. At least six people were reported killed in the attack and six others wounded.
Since the closure on Thursday, scores of NATO tankers have been torched across Pakistan. The Pentagon insisted on Friday that the closure hasn’t yet harmed the war effort, but some 80% of their supplies come through the nation, and with 150,000 troops in Afghanistan there really is no easy replacement for the Pakistan sea route.
Tensions have been rising between NATO and Pakistan as the number of cross border attacks has risen in recent weeks, but with the US still insisting the attack on Pakistani soldiers was justified as “self defense” and ratcheting up its own attacks it seems like there will not be an easy fix for the row.
Don't the dumb Paki's know that whatever the USA wants to do – it does.
This is the price they have to pay for accepting billions of dollars in aid. If their sons and daughters are treated as cannon fodder – so what?
America is the "Land Of The Free" and all other Countries are history.
May some Leader in Pakistan have the guts to stand up to this murderous nation and keep the border closed untill the mighty giant has to BEG for its reopening.
Let's see- Pakistan is hit with a devastating flood- and the US response is to actually escalate drone attacks and killings- and to attack Pakistani troops and this is all being done- Knowing that Pakistan is the main supply route for American troops in Afghanistan- and they continue on attacking and killing Pakistanis even as this supply route is cut by their ALLY!????
Ummmm- this doesn't make any sense. Are they just expending missiles and drones so that more are made? What is going on here? Are they waging war just for the sake of war?
I wouldn't be surprised if American bases are overrun within weeks. I mean these are the actions of a military simply out of control and leaderless. I don't think anyone is command.
it is not war, it is calcuated slaughter, the faster the US & Euro submerge in debit the better.
Disconnect between the Quislings and Pakistani Patriots!
This is nbon sense and a biast comment. We are the only sufferer for american policy and our people are being killed by drone attacks through incursion and through CIA and Raw trained suiside attacks.
How it is possible that in Swat heavy weapons like anti aircraft guns were found army and ISI knows but due to politics theier hands are tied down.
