The Al Qaida and Taliban are stupid. Here is why.
Fact: Osama Bin Laden was killed by the Americans. Pakistan had nothing to do with that particular operation. This evident from the great soul-searching in Pakistan and chest-thumping in USA on this.
Yet, who is Al Qaida, Taliban and Co. “punishing” for Osama’s death? Pakistan and Pakistanis? Either they did not get the memo on what really happened in Abbottabad, or they just like killing Pakistanis and Muslims!
Here is a list of the attacks since Osama’s death:
May 13
Two suicide bombers attacked a Frontier Corps training academy in Charsadda, north-west Pakistan, killing 98 people, most of them cadets boarding buses for home. The Pakistani Taliban (TTP) claimed responsibility, saying it was to avenge the death of Bin Laden.May 16
Gunmen on motorcycles shot and killed a Saudi diplomat in the southern city of Karachi. The shooting came days after unidentified attackers threw two hand grenades at the Saudi consulate in Pakistan’s commercial hub. No one was hurt in that attack. Nobody claimed responsibility for the attack, but Al Qaeda has long waged a bloody campaign to topple the royal family and the government in Saudi Arabia, the birthplace of its leader Bin Laden.May 18
More than 70 militants armed with rockets and mortars attacked a security post on the outskirts of Peshawar, triggering a four-hour gun battle in which 17 people, 15 of them insurgents, were killed. Nobody claimed responsibility for that attack. The same day, suspected Sunni militants gunned down four Shi’ite Muslims in the southwestern city of Quetta which security officials said was aimed at whipping up sectarian conflict to further destabilise the country following the death of Bin Laden.May 20
TTP attacked a U.S. consulate convoy in the volatile northwestern city of Peshawar, killing one Pakistani and wounding 12. Two U.S. nationals were among the wounded with minor injuries.May 21
At least 16 people were killed in Pakistan’s Khyber tribal region after a bomb hit a truck carrying fuel for NATO forces in Afghanistan. The Taliban claimed the responsibility. Sixteen NATO fuel trucks were attacked and set on fire a day earlier in the same region.May 22
A team of heavily armed insurgents stormed a Pakistani navy base in Karachi, setting off a 16-hour battle in which 10 military personnel were killed and two U.S.-supplied surveillance aircraft destroyed. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack, the biggest on a military installation since a 2009 raid on the military headquarters in Rawalpindi when they held several senior and junior officers hostage.May 25
Militants drove a car packed with explosives into a police station in the northwestern city of Peshawar, killing at least 11 people and wounding 39. The police station was razed to the ground.
P.S. Given that some 30,000 to 35,000 Pakistanis have already died as a result of this cursed War on Terror, this may not be new, but being not new makes it no less heartbreaking!
@Adnan…

“they just like killing Pakistanis and Muslims!”
Unfortunately, beloved Prime Minister of Pakistanis Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto taught them to first declare Muslims as Kafir and then it becomes very easy to kill them. Now they are doing what Pakistani-Muslims have been doing to their fellow Pakistani-Muslims since 1974!!!!!!!!!
There’s a piece that’s going viral on the internet and one that anyone interested in Pakistan’s role the War on Terror (ie the cost of the War on Terror on Pakistan) needs to read.
Granted, there are no sources provided for the facts, nor do I think it makes sense to tell Jon Stewart to report “the news” – he is, after all, a comedian. BUT the letter is thoughtful and well worth a read (warning: language is a bit crass at times). Please do read and share widely – it is a response, in many ways, to what is raised in this particular blog entry.

Nihari,
The reason masses of Pakistani ignore radical liberals like you because when you oppose Mullahs or Taliban, on other hand you start licking toe of USA. Anyone who lives in Pakistan know quite well that USA is not popular in Pakistan. The western funded liberal despise it and they despise it because they are not “justifying” the money they earn to promote USA within Pakistan. They are like LOUDSPEAKERS, which main purpose to increase the voice of the user. People here refer TTP withot having the knowledge of the reality, if one follows resources available it has been proven by Pak military and other resources as well that TTP is a proxy group of CIA and India which main purpose is to create confusion and disturbance within state. Now the link of TTP that they would continue the battle is just the clear proof who is using them. The recent Mehran attack’s initial report has given early verdict that they found Russian weaponry and evidences of involvement of CIA and RAW in operation. This the reason that those PPP politicians who were desperate to blame Talibans for the attack are now hiding here and there because this time their topi drama did not work.
as I said earlier, either PPP,TTP or even ATP, these are the sources which are playing in Western hands, their policy is to make enough noise so that nobody can know truth.
All this insane killing, drone attacks, mass murders and suicidal deaths of innocent men, women and children should be stopped at all or ANY cost by the Pakistan government.
By the way, does India harbor any Afghan refugees??? If so, why are they living peacefully there? Why cant they be grateful to a land which supported and fed them?
