Militants kill three Pakistani soldiers near Afghan border
https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-paci ... 021-07-05/
DERA ISMAIL KHAN, Pakistan July 5 (Reuters) - Militants killed three Pakistani soldiers close to the border with Afghanistan in the North Waziristan tribal region, where Pakistani Taliban fighters have been targeting the Pakistan military, security sources told Reuters.

The militants fired on a checkpost in Spinwam district, in the latest of a spate of attacks on security forces, government officials and suspected collaborators in North Waziristan. The Pakistani military said it was looking into the report.

By the way, this image below is missing two intermediate tellibunny types - "not so good" and "not too bad". These are usually interchangeable depending on the day and month.

Remove that tank and it will look scotterish, which rackit Mard e moment can ride such a vehicle hain ji, have you seen a woman 2 Wheeler rider, driver . Once in ME in 2005 a Paki lady told a lady going in taxi alone even in poshest parts of Karachi invites trouble. Things which people take for granted in India are very different in Pakistan.

Just when you thought to have seen it all, Pakis throw a spanner in the works :( An electric bike in a land with 12-15 hour power cuts :twisted: I wonder how many of these will sell :P

In pak*land, between petrol/diesel or electricity, what is more reliably available? Also, which is cheaper - petrol/diesel or electricity?

These look somewhat like 2000 Hero Honda 100 cc Bike
I have seen many chinese clones in West Africa. Eg. Bajaj Pulsar clone was called Gulsar and TVS was TeVS.
Then there these "Insert Brand Here" bikes that you can order by the container
The Bikes arrive with wheels removed (better for stacking) in 40 Ft containers.
You assemble the wheels and affix the stickers designed by you that come with the kit.
The chinese have removed the engine and added battery to the same 2000 year model.

This is a new low and another reference point in the erosion graph of Pakistan. They are catching up to Guinea, Mali, and Burkina Faso.

Aditya ji, what have you got against camels hain?

As Pakiland gets more desterified (despite Kaptaan sahabs 'Billion trees Tsunami' project) the Pakis can import camels from the Gulf. Only question is how will they pay for them... maybe another loan from Iron brother.

Actually Camry/Lexus though hybrids have tiny battery and you can only drive may be 2,3 miles on battery power. The only true hybrid is Volt (GM's and I think it is discontinued). You get a range of 60 miles or so and then a gasoline engine seamlessly kicks in (charging the battery) and you get another 400 miles on full tank.

Another crazy idea from Paki in charge of COVID19 management. He wants to ban Pakistanis who have not been vaccinated from flying and staying at hotels etc. So 95% of Pakistanis will not be able to fly or travel. WOW and this put Pakistan at number 3 on Economist's list for managing the COVID?

Dimmy never calls COVID-19 a Chinese virus but out of his way to call the Delta variant an India-origin virus. Mark my words: he is preparing grounds to seek some kind of reparations or concessions from India.

PM Imran fears fourth Covid wave looming over Pakistan, terms Indian-origin variant ‘the biggest concern’
Prime Minister Imran Khan on Thursday warned of a looming fourth wave of Covid-19 in the country, terming the Delta variant, which is believed to have originated in India, “the biggest concern”.
“We fear the Indian variant could strike Pakistan and as a precautionary measure, we need to adhere to the SOPs,” he warned.
“Unfortunately we do not produce vaccines, so we may get a bit late in vaccinating our entire population against the coronavirus,” he added.
“If we survive the fourth wave, we will be able to save our country,” he concluded.
In short, if the west does not want bakistan to implode/fail, send the vaccine ASAP, for free.

A 100cc jap motorcycle from the 1990s will run circles around this cheap chinese junk. This is literally one of those thousands of unbranded chinese bikes that are exported to Africa and some less fortunate asian countries. Its a 70cc motorcycle frame with a electric motor, other then turning few bolts i don't know what the paki contribution was to the product that their PM had to launch it. I mean, if you are peddling some chinese junk atleast do it right, this is so half-a55ed that they didn't even bother replacing the start and the horn switches on the handlebar with chinese wording on it. It is incredible how pakis somehow manage to out do their own parody on a daily basis !

Depends on where your baseline is to consider something as innovation. And that would be a very low bar for Pak. By the way, Hero, Bajaj, TVS etc have pushed out Chinese junk in African markets thanks to the far superior reliability and price point of their products. Most Pakis would be dying to ride on Indian 2 wheelers but they can't !

Pak Army chief, ISI confirm iron bond with Taliban
Both the Army chief and the ISI chief stated that Pakistan would be the first country to recognise a Taliban government once it came to power in Kabul.
Abhinandan Mishra, July 10, 2021

New Delhi: The 1 July off-camera, eight-hour interaction between Pakistani parliamentarians and Chief of Army Staff (CoAS), Qamar Javed Bajwa, who was accompanied by Director General of the Inter-Services Intelligence Agency (ISI), Lieutenant General Faiz Hameed, revolved extensively around the topic of Afghanistan and Taliban. The interaction took place at the Parliament House in Islamabad, and as per information accessed by The Sunday Guardian, the Pakistani Army Chief stated that they would be among the first to recognise the Taliban government in Kabul once they (the Taliban) came to power. This announcement was opposed by MPs, including Leader of Opposition, Shehbaz Sharif and Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, who stated that Pakistan should not recognise a government that came to power at gunpoint.
This important policy decision was indicated by the ISI chief at a gathering where Prime Minister Imran Khan was not present, which shows how strongly entrenched the Pakistan military is when it comes to major political decisions that are taken in the country.
Pakistan’s spy chief Faiz Hameed apparently told the parliamentarians that Taliban’s control in Afghanistan was increasing rapidly and as this control grew, also growing was Pakistan’s control over them (Taliban).
According to one source present in the meeting, the DG ISI said, “We did everything for the Taliban, provided them with full facilities and contacted the US on their behalf.”
While Hameed briefed the MPs, the Army Chief answered questions from MPs in the question-and-answer session.
In addition to the 29 members of the Parliamentary Committee on National Security, 16 legislators were invited to the meeting, as well as the heads of all parliamentary parties in the National Assembly and Senate and Chief Ministers of the four provinces.

The new Afghanistan challenge
Fahd Husain, July 10, 2021

FLAMES from the Afghanistan violence have begun to inch closer to our borders. In one recent incident, a number of troops from the Afghan National Army abandoned their post near the Pakistan border when the Taliban attacked. These ANA soldiers, in a bid to save their lives, crossed over into Pakistani territory where they were duly apprehended. However, they were later handed back to their authorities. This episode is just one of many that is indicative of the spillover of the conflict that may be about to hit Pakistan. Are we ready?
The state should be asking this question of itself. The last few weeks have suddenly seen an uptick in activity pertaining to this issue and there is growing concern in power circles that we may be about to enter into a very dangerous, unstable and unpredictable situation. In the maiden meeting of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Friday, chaired by PPP’s Sherry Rehman, National Security Adviser Dr Moeed Yusuf described Pakistan’s broad policy framework on Afghanistan in clear terms: first, efforts being made to facilitate a power-sharing arrangement between the Afghan Taliban and the Kabul government; and second, to take steps that minimise the spillover of instability — and the influx of refugees — from Afghanistan into Pakistan. The first one is not looking too promising. “We don’t control what is happening inside Afghanistan,” he said, adding “the ground situation is overtaking everything else.”
High-level sources have confirmed that in their most recent meetings with Pakistani officials, the Taliban leadership have shown some flexibility in terms of a dialogue but on one thing they are refusing to budge. They have reiterated and re-emphasised, according to these sources, that they will convert Afghanistan into an Islamic emirate and not continue with the democratic structure — whatever it is worth — that is in place now.
It is the second aspect — impact on Pakistan — that has now become the focus of the government’s efforts. The marathon meeting of the parliamentary committee of national security — the one briefed by army chief Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa and DG ISI Lt Gen Faiz Hameed — spent eight hours on discussing Afghanistan, but many people who participated in that meeting agreed that no solid recommendations emerged from it. The meeting of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Friday saw Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi and NSA Dr Yusuf share details of the various policy initiatives on Afghanistan but yet again there was nothing that the committee members added to the existing discourse, and the dilemmas that surround it.
On the issue of refugees various government officials are saying there is a broad consensus that Pakistan should not allow them to meld into the population as was done in the 1980s. However, the specifics are still being worked out. The following proposals are on the table: (1) Convince the international humanitarian agencies to make camps for the displaced persons on the border with Pakistan but on the Afghan side (2) By keeping them on the Afghan side, let the international organisations give them the status of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and not refugee status (3) Allow them inside Pakistan but keep them confined to designated camps (4) Block them from coming into Pakistan regardless of the situation (border fencing, patrolling).

2 Qaeda-backed terrorists, planning to strike on I Day, arrested in UP
Source: PTI - Edited By: Utkarsh Mishra, July 11, 2021

Two terrorists of the Al Qaeda-supported Ansar Ghazwatul Hind were arrested from the outskirts of Uttar Pradesh's capital Lucknow on Sunday and explosive materials were seized from them, a senior official said.
Minhaz Ahmed and Maseeruddin, both residents of the city, were apprehended by the state police's Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) and they were planning to 'unleash terror activities on August 15 (Independence Day) in different cities of the state', including Lucknow, Additional Director General of Police (Law and Order) Prashant Kumar told reporters.

Two days with no updates. Must be a slow week or what?

With the tellibunnies openly threatening pakhanistan, especially their border areas, there is bound to be an elevated level of "what will happen to us" concerns among the baki mohotarmas.

Kicking off a debate here - should India open up its borders to those India-baiting bakis (talk show hosts, journalists, actors/actresses, politicians), or any baki, if they need to "exit" their benighted land in a hurry?

I am on the side of a firm NO!

Slightly older article, apologize if already posted:

Will the Taliban Leadership Abandon Its Bases in Pakistan?
In return for not hosting American bases on Pakistani soil, Islamabad wants the Afghan Taliban to rein in the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan.
Umair Jamal, June 29, 2021

With territory under its control in Afghanistan expanding rapidly, will the Afghan Taliban leadership, allegedly based in Pakistan, leave the country and return to Afghanistan? There are several reasons why it may not decide to do so in the foreseeable future.
For one, Pakistan offers the Taliban strategic depth and a fallback option, which it would like to preserve. For decades, sanctuary in Pakistan offered the Taliban an insurance, which it has tapped into when in trouble in Afghanistan, or when under attack from the international community. This has worked to the benefit of the Taliban leadership in the past, and some segments of the group will continue to find it useful in the coming years. Pakistan will continue to remain a major supporter of the Taliban should the latter draw the ire of the international community and be ostracized again in the future.
The argument that the Taliban needed Pakistan only after 2001, following the United States’ invasion of Afghanistan when the group needed safe havens outside the country, doesn’t hold much weight. Prior to the U.S. invasion too, the Taliban were getting deep support in Pakistan, ranging from financial support to using the country as a recruiting ground. Arguably, Pakistan still offers the Taliban the same financial and military utility.
“Donations to the Afghan Taliban are on the upswing in Pakistan’s border regions as the militant group intensifies attacks against Afghan forces ahead of the U.S. troop withdrawal,” Voice of America (VOA) reported last week. “They [the Afghan Taliban] are coming on motorbikes and asking larger stores for contributions. They say that they belong to the Taliban movement and that they are fighting in Allah’s path,” a Pakistani resident told VOA.
Over the years, the Afghan Taliban have been pushing to build a reputation as an independent organization. It is widely believed that Pakistan’s influence over the Taliban has waned over the years. It is because of this waning influence that the group has not paid much heed to Pakistani pressure on it to engage in peace talks, reduce violence, and focus on finding a negotiated settlement with other stakeholders.
Clearly, Pakistan is not happy with the Taliban. “We oppose any military takeover of Afghanistan, which will lead only to decades of civil war, as the Taliban cannot win over the whole of the country, and yet must be included in any government for it to succeed,” Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan wrote in a recent article in the Washington Post.
Notwithstanding its differences with Islamabad, the Taliban will not give up their bases in Pakistan just to prove their authority. The group will continue to remain attentive to Pakistan’s security interests, and quietly do what is necessary to keep the relationship in a functional state.

Being pitched as a "morale booster". I say boost their morale 100%, why only 15%? After all victory-less medals can only do so much to boost morale, nothing boosts morale like money.

Chinese nationals among several killed in Pakistan blast: Report
Eight people, including six Chinese nationals and a Pakistani soldier, killed in a blast targeting a bus in northern Pakistan, Reuters reports.

https//www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/7/14/chines ... ast-report

At least eight people, including six Chinese nationals and one Pakistani soldier, have been killed in a blast targeting a bus in a remote region of northern Pakistan, multiple sources have told Reuters news agency.
The bus plunged into a deep ravine after the blast and caused heavy losses. One Chinese engineer and one soldier are missing. The rescue operation is launched and the entire government machinery has been mobilised to rescue the injured by air ambulance,” a senior government official told Reuters on condition of anonymity on Wednesday.

He said six Chinese nationals, a paramilitary soldier and one local were killed. Several people were injured, he said.

A senior administrative officer of the Hazara region told Reuters the bus was carrying over 30 Chinese engineers to the site of the Dasu dam in Upper Kohistan.
The frequency of bum blasts has picked up after the attack at Jammu airport.

The number of dead and wounded has gone up:
https://news.yahoo.com/13-killed-includ ... 55087.html
13 killed, including 9 Chinese nationals, in Pakistan bus blast
Wed, July 14, 2021

Nine Chinese workers were among 13 people killed on Wednesday when a blast on a bus sent it careering down a ravine in northwestern Pakistan, government and police officials said.
While Pakistani officials said the nature of the blast was under investigation, the Chinese embassy in Islamabad said its nationals had come under "attack".
The bus was carrying Chinese engineers, surveyors and mechanical staff to the Dasu dam construction site in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, a local government official who did not want to be named told AFP.
"The blast sparked a fire in the engine plunging the vehicle into a ravine," he said.
He said a further 28 Chinese nationals were injured.
A senior local police official, who also asked not to be named, confirmed the incident and said: "It was a heavy blast but its nature is not known yet".
The security of Chinese workers has long been an issue of concern in Pakistan. Large numbers of them are based in the country to supervise and build infrastructure projects.
In a statement on Wednesday, the Chinese embassy said that "a certain project of a Chinese firm in Pakistan suffered an attack, which caused the deaths of Chinese nationals".
It urged Chinese firms to strengthen their security procedures.
In April, the Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility for a deadly suicide blast at a luxury hotel hosting the Chinese ambassador, who was unhurt, in southwest Balochistan.
