Two Pakistani officers were taken hostage and a lieutenant general was among the eight soldiers killed in a gunfight with presumed Taliban gunmen following their audacious invasion of the Pakistan’s army headquarters in capital Saturday, Oct. 10.

Pakistani paramilitary forces battled a second group of insurgents for control of a road tunnel which connects the towns of Darra Adam Khel and Kohat in the North West Frontier Province.

On May 15, DEBKA-Net-Weekly exclusively named Kohat and Kamra as keys to Pakistan’s nuclear and missile arsenals and reported that Kohat’s fall to the Taliban would cut Islamabad and the Pakistani high command from Kamra and its nuclear arsenal

The latest BNO headlines on Twitter are that the government is blocking four private television news channels and hostages are being held near Pakistani army headquarters.

If they get close to anything nuclear, you can expect to see the Indians on the scene.

Detonate? The U.S. has done nothing about this and will do nothing as long as it has a sock puppet government in Pakistan. You need to understand how it works. A country that is on our side can have as many nuclear weapons as it wants.

Uh, duh...could someone explain to me,,,perhaps the Sage of Wilmington, Biden....

Which ones were these? The “Good”Taliban or the “BAD” Taliban?
Cause if they were the “Good” Taliban they are probably just going to hand over the nukes to our military, huh?

{If this all weren’t so tragic, it would be a comedy show}

>>> the government is blocking four private television news channels <<<

That explains why none of the several Internet news streams from Pakistan haven’t been working since early this morning.

Select “Pakistan” from the menu on the left.

Yes.

"Who is in more imminent danger" is a different, somewhat moot question.

It basically cannot be allowed to happen, at all.

IIRC Pakistan announced several weeks ago that it was obtaining (or had obtained) ballistic missiles with a 6,000km range, which is basically all of Russia and Europe, not to mention India.
