NATO supply attacked, 40 trucks, tankers burnt in Sindh

KARACHI: Gunmen in southern Pakistan on Friday torched more than two dozen trucks and tankers carrying supplies for NATO forces in Afghanistan, police said.

Attacks on trucks carrying goods for US and NATO-led forces are routine. But Friday's incident came a day after Pakistan blocked the convoys following the deaths of three Pakistani soldiers blamed on cross-border NATO fire.

"Around 20 attackers armed with rocket launchers and assault rifles attacked these trucks. They set ablaze 27 trucks parked there," district police chief Abdul Hameed Khoso told AFP of the pre-dawn attack.

The incident took place in Shikarpur district of the southern province of Sindh and was confirmed by another top administrative official.

Officials said the main land route for NATO supplies remained blocked and no trucks were being allowed to enter Afghanistan for the second consecutive day Friday.

"Trucks carrying fuel and other goods for NATO are still not allowed to enter Afghanistan," an administrative official at Torkham, the main border crossing in Pakistan's Khyber district, told AFP by telephone.

A security official in the northwestern city of Peshawar also confirmed that convoys were suspended for second day and that they had not received fresh orders to restore the supplies for NATO.

NATO said aircraft had entered Pakistani airspace Thursday in self-defence and killed "several armed individuals" after the crews believed they had been fired at from the ground.

It was the fourth such strike this week by NATO helicopters pursuing militants into Pakistani territory in actions that have been condemned by the government.

Khyber is on the main NATO supply route through Pakistan into Afghanistan, where more than 152,000 US and NATO forces are fighting an intensifying Taliban insurgency.

The Pakistani government said it was investigating Thursday's incident in the Kurram district of the northwestern tribal belt, which Washington has branded an Al-Qaeda headquarters and hub of militants fighting in Afghanistan. AGENCIES

Pakistan blocks supply trucks after three Pakistani soldiers killed in NATO Helicopter attack

Pakistan has blocked NATO supply trucks passing through its territory after atleast 3 Pakistani soldiers were killed when a NATO Helicopter targeted a security chekpost in Kurram Agency, near the Pak-Afghan border.
Pakistani government officials said senior authorities had ordered them to block oil tankers and trucks carrying Nato supplies at a checkpoint bordering Afghanistan. The two officials said they were not told the reason for the order at the Torkham border post, but it comes after threats by Pakistani officials to stop providing protection to Nato convoys if the military alliance’s helicopters hit Pakistani targets again.

A NATO helicopter attacked a Pakistani security post near the Afghan border on Thursday, killing three troops, officials in Pakistan said. NATO said it was investigating the allegations and whether they were linked to an operation against insurgents in a nearby Afghan province.
The incident was likely to fray ties between Pakistan and US-led forces in Afghanistan at a crucial time in the nine-year war. Just last weekend, NATO choppers opened fire on targets across the border, killing several alleged insurgents inside Pakistan.
Islamabad protested the incidents, which have further stirred already pervasive anti-American sentiments among Pakistanis.
Shortly after the allegations emerged, two government officials told The Associated Press they were ordered to stop NATO supply trucks from crossing into Afghanistan at the Torkham border post, a major passageway for NATO materials. Earlier this week, Pakistan threatened to stop providing protection to NATO convoys if the military alliance’s choppers attacked targets inside Pakistan again.
Pakistani officials differed on the exact location of the deadly airstrike, saying it took place either in Upper Kurram or Upper Orakzai. The remote, mountainous tribal regions neighbor one another, and the border is hard to distinguish.
The dead men were from a paramilitary force tasked with safeguarding the border, the Pakistani security officials said. Their bodies were taken to the region’s largest town of Parachinar, one official said. Three troops also were wounded.
The Pakistani officials all spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation and because in some cases they were not authorized to release the information to the media.
Lt. Col. John Dorrian, a spokesman for intelligence and special operations at NATO headquarters in Kabul, said coalition forces observed early Thursday what they believed were insurgents firing mortars at a coalition base in Dand Wa Patan district of Paktia province in eastern Afghanistan.
“A coalition air weapons team called for fire support and engaged the insurgents,” he said. “The air weapons team reported that it did not cross into Pakistani air space and believed the insurgents were located on the Afghan side of the border.”
Dorrian said NATO was reviewing the reports to see if the operation in Paktia was related to Pakistan’s reports its forces were hit by NATO aircraft.
In June 2008, a U.S. airstrike killed 11 Pakistani troops and frayed the two nations’ ties. Pakistan said the soldiers died when U.S. aircraft bombed their border post in the Mohmand tribal region. U.S. officials said their coalition’s aircraft dropped bombs during a clash with militants. They expressed regret over the incident, but said it was justified.
Pakistan and the U.S. have a complicated relationship, with distrust on both sides.
Polls show many Pakistanis regard the United States as an enemy, and conspiracy theories abound of U.S. troops wanting to attack Pakistan and take over its nuclear weapons. The Pakistani government has to balance its support for the U.S. war in Afghanistan with the support it needs from the population.
The U.S. and NATO need Pakistan’s cooperation in part because they use its land routes to transport supplies to their troops inside landlocked Afghanistan. The Pakistani government officials said about 250 vehicles of NATO supplies cross into Afghanistan daily.
There were more than 100 NATO vehicles blocked at the checkpoint by Thursday morning, they said.

U.S.Z and NATO supply blocked by Pakistan!

Abashed at the fake European plot, the CIA chief Leon Panetta came to Pakistan with some of the harshest news for Pakistan in the last many years. The U.S.Z followed it up with an innately offensive escalation on the ground. When the NATO choppers entered inside Pakistan today, the FC soldiers fired at them to let them know that they are crossing the red line. Instead of getting the signal, they fired two missiles at the Pakistani FC post martyring 3 soldiers and injuring another 3. All the choppers then immediately withdrew from the site. The warm blood of these three martyrs at last bombed the ever weakening dam of anger and hatred in the heart of every Pakistani Soldier and citizen towards U.S.Z.

PARACHINAR: Pakistan blocked one of the major supply routes for U.S.Z and NATO Army in Afghanistan on Thursday.  The blockade appears to be a major escalation in tensions between Pakistan and the United States of Zionism. A comprehensive and complete stoppage of the supply trucks would completely demolish the relationship between the two countries and help Commander Mullah Mohammad Omar in Afghanistan. Even a short halt is a reminder of the leverage that Pakistan has over the United States of Zionism at a crucial time in this “crusade” that has been going on for 9 years now.

U.S.Z and NATO convoy blocked - Trucks waiting in long queues

By midmorning, an endless line of around 120 NATO heavy vehicles was waiting to cross the border into Afghanistan. NATO said that it was “investigating” Pakistani reports that coalition aircraft had mistakenly attacked its forces (such investigations usually last forever without any action). The United States of Zionism and NATO have also acknowledged in the past that they mistakenly killed Pakistani Security forces stationed close to the border.  Over the weekend, NATO helicopters fired on targets in Pakistan at least two times, killing several “suspected insurgents” they had pursued over the border from Afghanistan.

Pakistan’s government was very satisfied with these attacks by their Zionist Globalist masters but was forced to protest by the forces that are deployed by Allah to protect this country for the future leadership of the Muslim Ummah. Therefore they had to half heartedly protest in front of the media in order to save their skins. The attacks which came in a month, there have been an unprecedented number of U.S.Z drone missile strikes in the northwest, inflaming already pervasive anti-U.S.Z sentiment among Pakistanis.

The surge in attacks and apparent increased willingness by NATO to attack targets on the border, or just inside Pakistan, could be a sign the coalition is losing patience with Pakistan, which has long been accused of "harboring militants" in its lawless tribal regions. Pakistani security officials said Thursday’s deadly airstrike took place on a checkpoint in the Upper Kurram region. The martyred men were from a paramilitary force tasked with safeguarding the border, the security officials said. Their bodies were taken to Parachinar, the region’s largest town, one official said. Three troops also were wounded. Several hours later, officials reported another rocket strike by NATO helicopters about nine miles (15 kilometers) from the first one. There were no injuries reported. The security officials spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation and because in some cases they were not authorized to release the information to the media.

The border between Pakistan and Afghanistan is unmarked. Border troops wear uniforms that resemble the traditional Pakistani dress of a long shirt and baggy trousers, which could make it hard to distinguish them from ordinary citizens or insurgents.

Leon Panetta said in one of his statements:

“Pakistan’s sovereignty will be fully respected and the U.S.Z will try its best to provide timely and credible information to Pakistan’s side against any possible terrorist activity on its side of the border to enable Pakistani forces to take prompt action against the miscreants”.

Pakistan said Panetta called for further strengthening of the “cooperation and coordination” between both countries on “national and regional issues”. Panetta also held talks with Pakistan’s army chief of staff General Ashfaq Pervez Kayani sahb and “discussed the matters of mutual interest”, the military said.

CIA Chief Leon Panetta - His face tells the whole story

 On the other hand, there was an absolutely dead silence in the U.S.Z embassy about this incident today.

Despite U.S.Z pressures, Pakistani forces have been reluctant to launch an operation in North Waziristan, since Americans want to get rid of the pro-Pakistan elements related to Jalal-ud-Din Haqqani in that region, but obviously Pakistan Army is not going to hit the protectors of their motherland for the sake of an invader.  Pakistani officials have reported at least 21 drone strikes in Waziristan so far in September and this is the highest ever number in a single month.

These attacks inside the Pakistani territory clearly indicate that the U.S.Z is in tremendous panic inside Afghanistan and they are playing a blind man’s bluff. Their army is doomed in the graveyard of Empires and they can’t think out a proper exit strategy at this point in time. On the other hand, Economic Cooperation Organization E.C.O has signed a transit trade agreement a couple of days ago through which the E.C.O member countries have finally decided to enforce much awaited Transit Transport Framework Agreement (TTFA) by launching a Truck Caravan, which has already started from Pakistan today. It will move across the region and terminate at Istanbul, Turkey after passing through Iran, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Tajikistan and Kazakhstan. InshAllah the Nishaat-e-Saania of Islam is around the corner.
