The Taliban shot dead 21 kidnapped Pakistani soldiers.
The soldiers were taken hostage Thursday at two camps outside Peshawar.
Channel News Asia reported
Taliban militants have shot dead 21 Pakistani soldiers who they had kidnapped in raids on two camps outside Peshawar in the troubled northwest of the country, officials said Sunday.
Around 200 militants, armed with heavy weapons including mortars and rocket launchers, stormed the government paramilitary camps before dawn on Thursday, killing two security personnel and kidnapping 23.
Officials said the bodies of 21 security personnel had been discovered in the wilderness not far from the camps, their hands tied before they were shot. Two others — one wounded and one unhurt — were also found.
The camps are outside Peshawar, the main city of northwest Pakistan, close to the restive tribal areas that border Afghanistan, which are regarded as havens for Taliban and Al-Qaeda linked militants.
“We found 21 bullet riddled bodies of security personnel a short while ago in an uninhabited area,” local government official Naveed Akbar told AFP.
“One was found alive but wounded and admitted to hospital while another managed to escape unhurt.”
Gul Shehzad, another government official, said authorities received information just before midnight that some bodies were lying in the wilderness, within about four kilometres of the camps.

Mustering up any kind of sympathy for the Pakistanis is a rather difficult endeavor…

The Taliban were obliterated, and only by a stroke of luck, after hanging by a thread, were they able to comeback.
I wonder how that happened, no I don’t.

I don’t give a rat’s ahz about ANY Pakistani life anymore. Especially after they (including the Pakistani Gov’t and Police) harbored Osama Bin Laden for YEARS, and then are NOW holding THE VERY MAN (a doctor) that helped the US get to Bin Laden in prison…..while they treat him like shyte. Karma’s a bytch, you Pakistanis. Just sayin….

When will the Pakis’ get pissed off enough to wipe out the Taliban murders?

Did 0bama dress up in muslim garb and a turban praising allah, start praying to Karl Marx feverishly for the communist utopia… then give a speech about jihad against america and his ex-gay lover Osama bin laden during the shooting of the 21 paki’s?

sam commented:
Morons believe in myths like “religion”, and then get offended when their idiotic “believers” kill them for not joining in lockstep? Magic Jesus wasn’t a murderer like illiterate pedophile Magic Muhammad was.

And yet it was Kissinger who thought we should “tilt” toward Pakistan as a more dependable ally in the region than India and it was Regan who armed the Taliban to fight the Russians. We reap what we sow.
