CTD guns down three terrorists in Bannu overnight raid
2025-07-17
[GEO.TV] As many as three suspected Lions of Islam were killed in a late-night operation by the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) of the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa police in Bannu, officials said on Thursday.

A spokesperson for the provincial anti-terror police said the eliminated Lions of Islam were affiliated with the proscribed Gul Bahadur and Zarar groups.

They were identified as Mudassir, Turab, and Mohammad Hussain, the spokesperson added, saying all three, who were from Bannu, were wanted by the police for acts of terrorism.

After the successful raid, the CTD recovered explosives, automatic weapons, including a Kalashnikov and a pistol, as well as a cycle of violence used by the suspects.

The CTD action came nearly ten days after another three Lions of Islam affiliated with the banned Tehrik-e-Taliban
...mindless ferocity in a turban...
Pakistain (TTP) were killed in a late-night operation in Lakki Marwat.

The CTD said that four hand grenades, multiple Kalashnikov rifles, dozens of rounds of ammunition, and two mobile phones were found in the aftermath of the operation carried out in Sarai Naurang area, near the Bhutani Canal.

The Lions of Islam were wanted for multiple attacks on police and other law enforcement personnel, the spokesperson added.

At least one killed, three injured in Bannu drone attacks
2025-07-10
[GEO.TV] A drone attack killed a woman and injured three others in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa's Bannu, the police said on Wednesday.

"One drone fell on the Miryan Police Station whereas the other fell on a home," the police said, adding that the incident occurred overnight, leaving one woman dead and three others injured.

Meanwhile,
...back at the barn, Bossy's udder had begun to ache...
the cop shoppe was targeted in the morning, resulting in some damage to the solar panels.

The maimed persons were shifted to the District Headquarters (DHQ) Hospital Bannu.

According to the police, quadcopter drones were used to carry out the attacks on the residence and the cop shoppe.

Search operations have been commenced by the police in both areas.

It is noteworthy to mention here that turbans have been using quadcopter drones to carry out attacks, and it was the fourth such attack in Bannu in which several people sustained injuries.

Last month, in a move to bolster counter-terrorism capabilities, the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (KP) police acquired a state-of-the-art anti-drone system aimed at neutralising aerial threats.

The system will be used to detect and disable unauthorised drones from a considerable distance, they added.

The anti-drone system will be deployed for the protection of key government buildings, public figures, and major public events, as per the insiders.

According to officials, krazed killer groups have used drones to carry out attacks in areas including North Wazoo and parts of southern KP.

Pakistain saw a slight uptick in krazed killer attacks in May 2025, even as heightened military tensions with neighbouring India failed to trigger a significant escalation in violence from krazed killer groups.

Data released by the Islamabad-based Pakistain Institute for Conflict and Security Studies (PICSS) indicates a 5% increase in attacks compared to April, though the overall picture suggests krazed killer groups largely remained contained despite the regional geopolitical climate.

Fresh polio case in North Waziristan takes national tally to 14

Polio is a highly contagious, incurable disease that can result in permanent paralysis. Repeated doses of the oral polio vaccine (OPV) during each campaign, along with completion of all essential immunisations, remain the only effective safeguard for children under five.

Although vaccination drives across the country continue to improve in scope and quality, the southern districts of KP remain a persistent challenge.

Limited access and difficulties in carrying out house-to-house vaccination campaigns have led to thousands of children missing doses and remaining exposed to the poliovirus.

In response, targeted efforts are underway. From June 23 to 28, a special vaccination campaign in six union councils of Bannu administered OPV to 17,485 children. A similar drive is being planned for 11 union councils in North Waziristan.

Moreover, preparations are in progress for a large-scale vaccination campaign across South KP in August.

The Regional Reference Laboratory at NIH Islamabad confirmed a case of wild poliovirus in a 33-month-old boy from KP's Bannu district on Sunday.

Last week, the Pakistain Polio Eradication Programme reported that poliovirus was detected in environmental samples taken from seven different districts in the country.

The programme said virus was found in environmental samples from Quetta, Gwadar, South Wazoo (lower) and South Waziristan (upper). Furthermore, environmental samples taken from Larkana, Rawalpindi and Mirpurkhas also contained poliovirus.

India-Pakistan
Pakistan's Atrocities and War on Its Own People
2025-05-29
[PJMedia] A large part of the world is focused on the conflicts unfolding between Hamas
..always the voice of sweet reason...
and Israel as well as Ukraine and Russia, with international observers closely scrutinizing these two wars.

However,
women are made to be loved, not understood...
the plight of civilians who have been enduring extreme suffering for decades, such as in the remote areas of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan
...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it...
in Pakistain, largely goes unnoticed by the same level of sharp scrutiny from Western eyes.

In Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, documented attacks by Pak forces in May and April demonstrate the scope of violence against civilian populations. On May 19, for instance, a dronezap attacked North Wazoo, murdering four young children.

Six people, three children among them, were maimed when mortar shells fired by Pak security forces hit houses in Tirah from May 5 to May 8. Other events included quadcopter drone attacks in Shawwal and a landmine blast in Tehsil MadaKhel, Waziristan. The latter killed one young man.

The May 11 quadcopter drone attack in JaniKhel, Bannu, injured eleven women and five children. Operations in Betni Area, Tank, on May 9 resulted in the deaths of three young men and one injured. A separate mortar shelling incident in Tirah Valley on May 9 murdered a woman, completing a week that left dozens of civilians dead or maimed.

Meanwhile,
...back at the pound, the little lost dog backed into the corner and showed its teeth. And what big teeth they were!...
residents of Tirah Valley staged a protest demonstration against the murder of a 12-year-old girl in a mortar fire in April.

All these incidents and more make a significant point that the Western world has remained oblivious to the use of modern weaponry, including armed drones, by the Pak state against its own citizens.

These Pak drones are largely procured from The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire...
and China. They appear to be rigorously tested by targeting the country's own civilian population in these areas. This causes not only immense loss of lives and property but also instills a perpetual sense of fear in the minds of residents, including children.

Pakistain's use of drone technology against its own population began during Operation Zarb-e-Azb
..the Pak offensive against Qaeda in Pakistain and the Pak Taliban in North Wazoo. The name refers to the sword of the Prophet (PTUI!)...
, when the military first acknowledged using armed Burraq UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) in 2015. While officials described the move as counterterrorism operations, civilian casualties from these strikes have created resentment among affected communities.

A March 2025 drone attack in Mardan that massacred eleven people, including women and kiddies, resulted in the government’s acknowledgment of "collateral damage" only after local protests demanded compensation for the victims' families.

A recent dronezap in northwest Pakistain's Mir Ali murdered four children and maimed five others, prompting thousands of residents to stage protests by placing the children's bodies on the main roads as a symbol of their demand for justice. Local communities have responded with organized resistance, led primarily by the Pashtun Tahafuz Movement (PTM). From February through May 2025, PTM organized demonstrations across the region, beginning with protests at Bakka Khel camp in Bannu on Feb. 3, followed by a Jirga gathering at Tirah Maidan, Khyber, on Feb. 15.

The movement expanded with the "Aman Quami Pasoon" protest in Wana, South Waziristan, on Feb. 18, continuing with demonstrations at Qambarabad Market, Bara, on Feb. 22. A sit-in protest at Jani Khel, Bannu, on April 25 led to the ongoing protest at Army Cantonment Mirali that began on May 19. This protest involved PTM leaders, tribal elders, and various political parties.

The situation in Balochistan presents perhaps the most systematic documentation of human rights
...which often include carefully measured allowances of freedom at the convenience of the state...
violations. The Voice for Baloch Missing Persons has recorded approximately 7,000 cases of enforced disappearances since 2004, while the government's own Commission of Inquiry on Enforced Disappearances listed 2,752 active cases as of January 2024. The significant disparity between these figures and official government claims suggests the deliberate underreporting of the crisis.

The recent bombing of a school bus in Khuzdar, Balochistan, which massacred five people — including three girls — and maimed 53 others, mostly children, exemplifies Pakistain's reflexive strategy of deflecting blame for its internal failures.

The Vehicle-Borne Improvised Explosive Device (VBIED) attack targeted innocent children traveling to school. Within hours of the massacre, the Director General of Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) issued a statement accusing foreign powers of orchestrating the assault without providing any evidence to support these claims.

This pattern of shifting blame has become a familiar response whenever Pakistain faces scrutiny over violence against its own civilians.

Pakistain's heavy-handed approach against its people is largely driven by its failure to provide equitable governance to populations across the country. The majority of the population in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan live in abject poverty, deprived of even basic facilities such as functional medical or educational institutions.

Incidentally, several schools and colleges in Balochistan have been closed for at least the last six months on government orders. This order serves as collective punishment for people who are demanding basic civil liberties and human rights as promised in the country's constitution.

Pakistain's willful neglect of certain regions within its borders is reflected in several international indices, including Amnesty International reports and various human rights assessments that consistently highlight the deteriorating situation for civilians in these areas.

The systematic targeting of civilians extends far beyond isolated incidents, with documented evidence revealing a disturbing pattern of state-sponsored violence across multiple provinces.

Meanwhile,
...back at the pound, the little lost dog backed into the corner and showed its teeth. And what big teeth they were!...
the discovery of over 200 decomposing bodies on the rooftop of Nistar Hospital in Multan

.
suggests this may represent a broader pattern that requires investigation.

The international community has begun to take notice of these developments through various human rights reports and documentation efforts. However,
women are made to be loved, not understood...
the level of international attention and intervention remains limited compared to other global conflicts. Pakistain's strategic importance in regional politics and its nuclear capabilities may contribute to the relatively muted international response to domestic human rights concerns.

India-Pakistan
Pakistan Security Forces kill 9 TTP militants in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa operations
2025-05-27
[KhaamaPress] Pak forces killed nine TTP Lions of Islam in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, seizing weapons and intensifying operations amid rising regional security threats.

Pak media, citing the country’s military, reported on Sunday that nine members of Tehrik-e-Taliban
...Arabic for students...
Pakistain (TTP) were killed in separate security operations across Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province. The Pakistain Army referred to the Lions of Islam as "India-backed Khawarij," a term often used to denote bully boy outlaws.

According to Dawn News, the military launched three coordinated operations. In the first, four Lions of Islam were killed in Dera Ismail Khan
... the Pearl of Pashtunistan ...
after an intense firefight. In the second, conducted in the Tank district, two suicide kaboomers were neutralized. The third operation in Bagh, Khyber district, resulted in the deaths of three more TTP members.

The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) stated that arms and ammunition recovered from the Lions of Islam were previously used in multiple attacks in the region. The military emphasized that clearance operations are ongoing to eliminate any remaining threats and foreign-linked elements.

These operations follow similar anti-militancy raids last week, during which 12 Lions of Islam from TTP and the Baloch Liberation Front (BLF) were killed. Incidents were reported in Lakki Marwat, Bannu, and North Wazoo, where two soldiers also bit the dust during firefights with Death Eaters.

Pakistain’s military has also accused India of backing murderous Moslem groups and using intelligence assets to destabilize the country. The accusations were reiterated last month by a military spokesperson, fueling ongoing diplomatic tensions between the two South Asian nations.

While Pakistain’s security forces continue their counterinsurgency efforts, the persistent threat posed by TTP and affiliated groups highlights the fragile nature of regional security. The cross-border dimension of the conflict, including alleged external support, remains a pressing concern for Islamabad.

cases for 2025 have risen to 10 after the Regional Reference Laboratory for Polio Eradication at the National Institute of Health (NIH) confirmed two new cases of wild poliovirus in Lakki Marwat and Bannu districts of southern Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa.

.
While high-quality polio vaccination campaigns continue nationwide, certain areas, particularly in southern KP, continue to face challenges such as restricted access and difficulties in conducting house-to-house vaccination campaigns.

These access and operational hurdles leave thousands of children in the province at the risk of exposure to poliovirus as a result of missed opportunities for vaccination, according to health authorities.

Owing to the aforementioned issues, children in UC Bakhmal Ahmad Zai (Lakki Marwat) missed out on vaccination opportunities during the February and April 2025 immunisation campaigns, resulting in immunity gaps.

In UC Saintanga, Tehsil Wazir (Bannu), no comprehensive campaign has been carried out since October 2023. Moreover, a shortage of female vaccinators and gaps in monitoring have also widened the immunity gaps.

Afghanistan
Taliban Commander killed in Border Clash with Pakistani soldiers in Paktika

[KhaamaPress] A border commander was killed by gunfire from Pak soldiers, following a clash along the Afghanistan-Pakistain border.

A Taliban

province. The incident occurred on Friday, May 16, 2025, in the Angur Ada area of Barmal district, near the Durand Line.

Local sources identified the slain commander as Sibghatullah Matin, who served as the logistics chief of the Taliban’s 4th Brigade of the Mansouri Corps. The clash resulted in the deaths of two Taliban fighters and five Pak soldiers, with four additional Taliban members sustaining injuries .

The exact cause of the confrontation remains unclear, as neither Taliban nor Pak officials have publicly commented on the incident. However,
corruption finds a dozen alibis for its evil deeds...
such border festivities have been recurrent in recent years, particularly in the southeastern provinces of Afghanistan.

This incident underscores the ongoing tensions between Afghanistan and Pakistain, exacerbated by cross-border militancy and territorial disputes. Both nations have accused each other of harboring krazed killer groups, leading to a complex and volatile security situation along their shared border.

While the Taliban has not issued an official statement regarding the clash, the Pak military has not provided details either. The lack of communication from both sides contributes to the uncertainty surrounding the event and highlights the challenges in managing border security and diplomatic relations in the region.

Home Front: WoT
Homes raided as part of Michigan crackdown on pro-Palestinian vandalism targeting Jews
2025-04-26
[IsraelTimes] Unusually, US federal agents involved in investigation of series of incidents in which homes and Jewish institutions were targeted with messages such as ‘F*** Israel,’ ‘Intifada’

US federal and state agents in Michigan raided at least three different home addresses connected to pro-Paleostinian activists Wednesday, as part of what authorities said was an ongoing investigation into more than a year of the group targeting homes and businesses, including prominent Jewish locations.

The raids — at homes in Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti and Canton — were not tied to immigration issues or on-campus demonstrations against Israel that have taken place over the last year and a half, according to a front man for Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel.

"These search warrants were not investigative of protest activity on the campus of the University of Michigan nor the Diag encampment," the front man, Danny Wimmer, said in a statement, referring to the location of Michigan’s anti-Israel student encampment last year. "Today’s search warrants are in furtherance of our investigation into multi-jurisdictional acts of vandalism."

The raids, during which some people were detained but not arrested, followed acts of vandalism at the homes of members of the University of Michigan’s Board of Regents, whom pro-Paleostinian activists want to cut university ties with Israel.

Late Thursday, Nessel’s office provided a list of the vandalism incidents the raids were investigating. The incidents included one in December, when a group of protesters threw rocks through the window of Jordan Acker, a Jewish regent, while he and his children were home in the heavily Jewish bankrupt, increasingly impoverished, reliably Democrat, Detroit
... ruled by Democrats since 1962. A city whose Golden Age included the Purple Gang...
suburb of Huntington Woods, and left pro-Paleostinian graffiti on his car. Another incident from June 2024 targeted Acker’s law office.

Another incident, on the first anniversary of the October 7, 2023, Hamas
..a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",...
onslaught, targeted the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit in Bloomfield Hills with graffiti reading "Intifada" and "Fuck Israel." Non-Jewish regents at the university and the university president have also been targeted by protesters in their own homes. Other graffiti, targeting a predominantly Jewish country club, made explicit references to Friends of the Israel Defense Forces, which had hosted an event at the space the day before. The oldest incidents dated back to February 2024; the most recent occurred in March of this year.

A viral video showed officers breaking down the door of a home. Nessel’s office said Thursday that officers broke down the door "following more than an hour of police efforts to negotiate entry to satisfy the court-authorized search warrant."

Pro-Paleostinian activists at the university have been engaged in extreme tactics to pressure its leadership to divest from Israel.

Acker declined to comment on the raids on Wednesday. He previously called the targeting of his own home "terrorism" and "Klan-like."

The involvement of federal agents in investigating local vandalism is unusual. An attorney representing several University of Michigan protesters told the Detroit Free Press that she believed the raids showed that Nessel’s office was collaborating with the Trump administration, which has cracked down on pro-Paleostinian protesters and schools where they have been active and dispatched federal immigration authorities to arrest non-citizen student activists.

"Everyone who was raided has taken part in protests and has some relationship to the University of Michigan," said the attorney, Liz Jacob of the Sugar Law Center in Detroit. "We are totally convinced that, but for their viewpoints, these students would not have been targeted."

On Instagram, a pro-Paleostinian collective at the university said they were being targeted by "zionist state AG Dana Nessel," who is Jewish, and who they accused of working with Trump to "repress pro-Paleostinian speech." Online, other pro-Paleostinian groups attempted to link the raids with the high-profile detentions of activists Mahmoud Khalil and Rumeysa Ozturk on other campuses.

The University of Michigan, which has large Jewish and Arab American student populations, has taken more aggressive action against protesters since US President Donald Trump
...His ancestors didn't own any slaves...
’s reelection. In February, it suspended a leading pro-Paleostinian student group for two years, in part over its demonstration at a regent’s home.

The school also announced last month, amid pressure from the Trump administration, that it would do away with its flagship Diversity, Equity and Inclusion program. The school had previously fired a senior DEI staffer who allegedly made antisemitic comments at a conference.

JUI-F leader among four injured in South Waziristan mosque blast
2025-03-15
[GEO.TV] A blast tore through a mosque on Friday in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa's South Wazoo district, leaving at least four people injured including district emir of Jamaat Ulema Islam-Fazl (JUI-F), police said.

Abdullah Nadeem, a leader of the JUI-F, was believed to be the target of the blast and had been hospitalised with serious injures, said DPO Asif Bahadur, a district police chief in South Waziristan.

He added that two children were among the injured. It was not immediately clear who was behind the earth-shattering kaboom.

Attacks have been escalating in Pakistain's border regions with Afghanistan in recent months.
