Check mate.
Taliban has 100% sponcership of Afghan Government and operates from areas held strongly by ISAF.
Resignation, of Sana Bucha, is very sad.She will be greatly missed .She was one of the great journalists, who was very brave and fair.Wish her the the best where she goes.
In order to eradicate this menace, Pakistan should use chemical weapons. This is the only solution to get rid of these criminal talibans
Funny that this short footnote of an article gets placed out in front but when the senior LeT leader was taken out by the US it got all but tucked away out of sight.
Thank you US for the drones! I wouldn't be surprised if the US had something to do with this operation.
@ MJ: You are very right sir, but these insane people have forced people to not consider them humans any more.
@Thoughtful: Yea, my thoughts exactly. This guy looks like he got ready for this photo shoot!
He should not be allowed to be buried in Pakistan. He is the killer of Pakistanis and Pashtoons.
@Zaikam: I hate the Taliban but access to healthcare in life threatening situations is a fundamental human right. I am, however, glad that he did not live to spread further destruction.
So hospitals in Afghanistan provide medical care to 'taliban'?
