Pakistan Troops Kill Up To 70 Militants
"Helicopter gunships pounded pro-Taliban militants in the mountains of northwest Pakistan on Thursday, reportedly killing as many as 70 in an increasingly bloody conflict between the government and Islamist forces.
In fighting Thursday, militants attacked police posts before dawn, and security forces responded with fire from mortars, assault rifles and helicopter gunships.
I notice it is always the militants who are attacking, so that is either a LIE or Mushy is LOSING is Army!
Maj. Gen. Waheed Arshad, the army spokesman, as thousands of people who fled the days of fighting began setting up tent camps.
"According to the information I have from police and Frontier Constabulary, between 60 to 70 miscreants were killed in Swat's areas of Khawaza Khela today.''
So now they are miscreants, huh?
Sirajuddin, a spokesman for the militants who goes by only one name, said that only two of their fighters had died. He claimed 40 government fighters had surrendered, which Pakistani authorities denied.
Sirajuddin told The Associated Press:
"Security forces should join us and should not kill their Muslim brothers and sisters just for money and at behest of their non-Muslim masters.''
I so agree!!!
He also said two foreigners had been captured by militants in the same area, though he could not confirm reports they were journalists or give their nationalities. Neither the local government nor the Pakistan army confirmed the abductions.
Also Thursday, a suicide bomber killed eight people in an attack on an air force bus in Sargodha, about 125 miles south of Islamabad, air force spokesman Sarfraz Ahmed said. All the dead were air force employees, said Sahid Malik, an official at the hospital treating wounded."
Those "captured" soldiers? DEFECTORS!!!!!
But Amurka's MSM would never tell you that!
