Time to Bind together: Tirah valley battle intensifies as fight for key heights continue

[jeaybhutto]

PESHAWAR: The battle for key heights in Tirah valley intensified on Monday as Jet fighters and gunship helicopters pounded militant positions.

Military sources told Dawn.com that they have reports 30 security forces have so far been killed along with 97 militants.Scores of militants have reportedly been killed in the strikes backed by artillery and mortar fire as ground troops also started advancing on militant hideouts.

Though the exact number of casualties in the clashes are not known, reports coming in from Tirah valley suggest the death toll on both sides is very high as the security forces take on Lashkar-i-Islam (LI) militants in Akakhel area.
Security forces also claim that LI and Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) posts in Maidan, Akakhel and Bagh have been overrun and that a fierce battle is still continuing.

“The militants have been putting up a stiff resistance in the last two days, ever since the offensive was launched on Friday,” security forces stated.The TTP spokesman Ehsanullah Ehsan speaking to Dawn.com, confirmed that the LI is fighting the security forces, but also said that TTP fighters are not involved at the moment. However he did say that the TTP would support the LI when needed.

Ehsanullah Ehsan added they had reports that five LI activists, including a key commander, had been killed.
The TTP spokesman said some fighters have also been injured but did know the exact number of casualties, which are said to be high.

The Tirah valley operation has been planned for many months after authorities felt that militants were consolidating their positions there and that an offensive was needed to root them out.Due to the area being inaccessible, the exact death toll could not be verified from independent sources. The media have had to rely mostly on local sources, military and claims made by the militants.


TTP MURDABAD....

TTP is mostly comprised of our own tribal people.

 

[Imranpak]

Sadly this is the only language the TTP understands. They are least interested in compromising giving the army little choice.

While it is true that people from all over the world are assisting TTP but the fact remains that vast majority of TTP are Pakistanis.

 

[Pakistan1992]

[anees1980]

Kharjis needs to be dealt with iron hand, Islam ka nam badnam karne mei inho ne koi kassar nahi chori.

 

[usm100]

TTP should be rooted out completely no matter how much difficult it is. THey are not above our army. And army is suppose to protect Pakistan's soil. They are our enemy who killed innocent Pakistanis with out any discrimination and they should be punished.

Because that part of our country was under control by a foreign funded mercenary.

"Foreign funded mercenaries" are you referring to our glorious fouj with these un-business-like words?

Traitors of Islam and Pakistan within our ranks are more dangerous than conventional enemies. We have to follow the Sunnah of Hazrat Abubakr (R.A) in this matter.

Now there are two possibilities:
1) You are just only considering the mistakes or I would even say blunders of some of generals and generalizing the whole institution as corrupt. In this case you are acting like a useful idiot for enemies of Pakistan.
2) You are one of the snakes within our ranks and that is why you are spitting your venom against Pakistan Army because you are well aware of the fact that Pak Army is the only institution of our country which is still organised and defending Pakistan.

Pakistan government is broke. Fouj gets their paycheck from their Aaqa America. It's a puppet and proxy army of the Zionists.

You mean the Pak Army? We know in whose interest their fighting for and whose funding them.
