Round up every military aged male in the area. Kill those that resist.

“What sparked the deadly clashes in tribal Pakistan”?

Could it be,........ISLAM?!! Islamic insanity? Islamofascist/Nazi fruitcakiness?

With Islam, you’ve got a million of them, or rather one point eight BILLON reasons to do stupid things.

This does seem to be bad news, in that Musharaff is losing control of Miranshah - and also good news, in that tribal conflicts seem to be casually overcoming the unity of the One True Faith of the Prophet.

It’s slso good news in that the idea of Coalition forces making incursions across the Pakistani border is becoming more acceptable.

It just sounds like everyone is blasting everyone, the Army dudes don’t know whether to surrender at first contact or shoot civilians instead.

There are Chechens and Uighurs and Neo Taliban and khasadars (tribal police)and individual jihadis from abroad. Additional participants include Mehsuds of Baitullah, and the IMU and everyones favorite, the Islamic Jihad Group, not to mention the Pakistani security forces.

The Army does not seem to be performing well, with the following mentioned ... “received 30 bodies of the slain soldiers” ... “jirga members had recovered 73 bodies of soldiers” ... “45 bodies of soldiers had been handed over to military officials”

Following the discovery of over a dozen mutilated dead bodies, either beheaded or with their throats slit, of paramilitary personnel captured earlier by Baitullah Mehsud’s men, the paramilitary forces ran amok. Some surrendered to the terrorists, others discarded their uniforms and took shelter in the homes of the residents of the area and some others went on a killing spree, indiscriminately killing the local villagers and the Uzbeks, Chechens and Uighurs living in Mir Ali.

All in all a highly detailed and fascinating account of what appears to be a typical islamoclusterfork.

I enjoyed it, thanks for posting it.

Regards
