ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - Pakistani troops Friday found the bodies of 24 suspected Taliban militants who were killed in overnight fighting with U.S. and Afghan soldiers near the border inside Afghanistan, an army spokesman said.
The bodies were found near Alwara Mandi, a small market town in the North Waziristan tribal region, spokesman Maj. Gen. Shaukat Sultan said.
"They were killed at some stage last night in fighting with (U.S.-led) coalition forces and Afghan forces," Sultan said.
He said he believed the fighters may have been trying to enter Pakistan when they were killed.
"We alerted our troops to stop anyone from entering into Pakistani territory, but the Pakistan army was not involved in any shooting," he said from Rawalpindi, a city near Islamabad where the army is headquartered.
Pakistan is a close ally of the United States in its war against terrorism and has deployed thousands of troops in regions along the border with Afghanistan.
Afghan and U.S. officials say Taliban insurgents stage attacks from Pakistani areas.
An Afghan military official said one Afghan National Army soldier was killed and another was injured when suspected Taliban fighters fired rockets at their base in Afghanistan's southeastern Paktia province, near the Pakistani border.
Maj. Gen. Rehmatullah Raufi, the top army commander in Paktia, said the Afghan base was attacked Thursday night in Lwara area, across from Alwara Mandi on the Pakistani side.
Raufi said there was no ground fighting with the Taliban but Afghan troops fired several rockets toward the suspected Taliban positions. He was not aware of any casualties among the attackers.
24 dead losers.
Bad news for Liberals/Democrats/Socialists/OldEuropeans/Pacifists/Race-Baiters/Tax-and-Spenders.
That's some fine shootin' boys!
I'm over it.
24 martyrs.... Les see... That's 1728 virgins! Wonder where the find them all?
Good!
Come on, be honest.....you used a calculator, didn't you?
24 more heathens gone. Excellent news.
I like what Rumsfeld calls them, "Dead Enders"
At the Choc-full-of- virgins store I guess. Good to our guys sending business their way.
Killing bad guys ~ Bump!
Killed inside Afghanistan, found inside Pakistan? Must have been quite an explosion.
They now have a deeper understanding of Rumsfeld's term.
Close ally of the United States in its war against terrorism my @ss.
Pay back is a real bitch! Kill a SEAL, and simply disappear, or are found dead!
Great job, and now take the whole fight to them, until they no longer exist!
Gee only 24 come on guys you can do better than that.
OK - now set the mines all along the border where they just tried to enter and we'll get some more!
Man, I wish I had invested in Virgin futures.
...Hell must be filling up pretty much by now....
Jeez, and we just leave the garbage lying around? No clean up? What about the environment? We need to train some corpse eating pigs.
Yeah, it sounds as though they were driven straight into a trap.
The ONLY proper way to find one!
I think they're only virgins until their first time in the barrel; after that???
You don't suppose the Seals.....
Did Turbin Durbin escape?
It's shaping up to be a good start to the weekend

New York Slimes: 'but we didn't get a chance to know them better ... '
Of course not. That would mean that those nice boys would have crossed a border, which as you and I both know, is a no-no and hence impossible. No, I think it was probably a sudden attack of accidental lead poisoning. Tragic case. Wonder where we send flowers?

That's 1680 virgins for all you people in Rio Linde, CA..
$hit yes, I suppose that's a very high probability...
Especially since the bodies were found in Pakistan and the Pakistan army denies involvement.
What little we've been told, sounds like a classic "beaters and shooters" operation along a known "escape route"..
The shooters had to have been inside Pakistan with the ambush opened fire.
In our era --- referred to as an "out of country experience"..
Semper Fi
Bill..... Your lame attempt at being P.C. isn't convincing anyone!
Hell, let it go and enjoy the reality that we really don't give a damn how we kill the bastards --- just so long as we kill them in large numbers, with shocking messy results in the view of MANY of their friends and loved ones, in their own yards and at no loss of our own...
Oh, I forgot to add --- that "signs" of the disaster should be left in clear and plain view all along the "escape route" where they were ambushed....
That causes their weak hearts to flutter at a rapid enough pace --- causing blood to POUND in their ears -- masking the sounds we made moving into position to strike again...
Semper Fi
Probably the ones who took out the SEAL team...good riddance.
"Killed inside Afghanistan, found inside Pakistan? Must have been quite an explosion." Just what I was thinking. Do you suppose our boys actually pursued the pukes into Pakistan? If so that is good news but the Packi's will never admit it.

I may have found a flaw in the argument. If it doesn't state Virgin Women they may be substituting virgin goats and rabbits.
Um-hmmmm.... But would that make any difference to these guys?
24 more satan worshipers have just arrived in hell

By my estimation, there will be no more nuns by the end of 2005, and then they'll have to use 'recycled' virgins. LOL
Well it's what they are used to.
Rummy also says "they melted into the landscape" sometimes.
I like that one.
As noted earlier on this thread....NO ONE is claiming they did this.....Hmmmmmm.
Maybe undercooked porkchops? You have to cook it properly. LOL!
Team or Teams? Is the question - God bless our shooters -
Good hunting boys!
