Female suicide bomber strikes hospital in Pakistan, 9 killed - PTI
At least nine persons, including six policemen, were killed and around 40 others injured in northwest Pakistan on Sunday in a terror strike on a checkpost and a subsequent suicide blast by a burqa-clad woman at a hospital where the victims of the first attack were shifted.

Both the attacks took place in Dera Ismail Khan district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
, a day after the first-ever successful election was held in the newly merged tribal areas of the province.

Four unidentified armed men riding two motor-bikes opened fire on two policemen, who were on duty at the Kotla Syedan checkpost, and killed them, District police chief Saleem Riaz told the media.

When the bodies of the slain policemen were brought to the district hospital, a burqa-clad suicide bomber, already sitting there, targeted the people who gathered around the ambulance
, the official said.

Seven people, including four policemen, were killed in the suicide blast, police said.

He said the suicide bombing by a female was first ever and unexpected incident in the region.

According to eye witnesses, the bomber was wearing a head-to-toe veil. Police also recovered hairs and feet of the attacker and sent them for forensic examination.

The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) claimed responsibility for the attack.

The seriously injured people were shifted to the Combine Military Hospital for medical cover. The police and civil administration reached the spot immediately after the explosion.

Mr. Riaz said that 7 to 8 kg explosive was used in the suicide explosion. He confirmed seven fatalities, in both the terror act.

The death toll could rise as the majority of the victims were in critical condition, he said.

He said that security check is done by the police on the entry of people into the hospital. But due to tradition and customs of the area females are exempted. He said the suicide bombing by a female was first ever and unexpected incident in the region.

Dera Ismail Khan is considered as gateway to North Waziristan and South Waziristan district which were once hotbed of militants.

Army, ISI chiefs to visit US with PM: Qureshi

Army, ISI chiefs to visit US with PM: Qureshi

Anwar Iqbal, July 20, 2019

WASHINGTON: Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi on Friday confirmed that Chief of the Army Staff Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa will accompany Prime Minister Imran Khan during his visit to the White House on July 22 for a meeting with US President Donald Trump.

Briefing the Pakistani media on the visit, Mr Qureshi said the director general of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) would also come to Washington with the prime minister. The two military leaders would also have “separate meetings with their counterparts” at the US department of defence, he added.

Apparently, this will be the first time that the country’s top generals will accompany a prime minister to a White House meeting with the US president.

Diplomatic sources told Dawn that Gen Bajwa would meet Defence Secretary Patrick M. Shanahan, the new chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen Mark Milley and other senior officials during his visit to Pentagon.

This would be Gen Milley’s first meeting with a foreign military leader since his confirmation on Thursday by the Senate Armed Services Committee.

Imran to stay at ambassador’s residence after his arrival in Washington today (after being "invited" doesn't this clown get a room at Blair house, the US president's guest house)

Commenting on the PM’s decision to bring top military officials to Washington, Marvin Weinbaum, a US scholar of South Asian affairs, said: “Policymakers in Washington have noticed that after a long time, Pakistan’s civil and military leaders are on the same page on key issues.”

Mr Weinbaum said Afghanistan and terrorism were two primary concerns of the Trump administration in South Asia, and they knew on such issues “no major decision can be implemented in Pakistan without the army’s support.”

FM Qureshi said it was “a good omen” for the country when asked about the rare decision regarding military leadership’s visit along with the PM. He said: “You know what was being said before. The political government wants a certain thing, the establishment does not... that there’s disconnect between the civilian and the military establishments... that they are not on the same page. Alhamdolillah, there’s no disconnect today. Both civil and military leaders are focusing on the country’s interests, on the challenges before us,” he added.

“We are moving ahead. We are grateful to our forces for such a responsible approach.”

Quoting a recent example of “this responsible approach and positive attitude”, Mr Qureshi recalled that recently the military had endorsed the government’s decision to freeze their budget. “There is a better understanding, no trust deficit, as there was in the past,” he added.

Diplomatic sources told Dawn that Mr Khan and his team would spend almost three hours at the White House, meeting President Trump and his aides.

Mr Qureshi said the PM would arrive at the White House on Monday morning and after the book signing ceremony, he would attend two sessions, a small group meeting and an extended meeting. The first meeting would be in the Oval Office and the second in the cabinet room. He would also have a one-on-one meeting with President Trump. The US leader would accompany him on a White House tour that would give them more time “to mingle and chat”, the foreign minister said.

The prime minister arrives in Washington on Saturday afternoon on a commercial flight and would stay at the ambassador’s residence in the city’s diplomatic enclave. In the evening, he would meet the people who have had a long association with the PTI and were also helping the party in organising the visit.

On Sunday, Mr Khan would meet IMF chief David Lipton and his delegation and would later have a similar meeting with the World Bank president. Later in the evening, he would attend a community event at Washington’s Capital One Arena. “We are expecting between 15,000 and 20,000 people,” said chief organizer of the event Dr Abdullah Riar.

His other engagements include a meeting of Pakistani-Americans investors, media interviews, addressing the US-Pakistani Business Council and a dinner meeting with selected leaders of America’s corporate sector.

On July 23, US Secretary of State Michael Pompeo would call on the PM. Mr Khan would also address a meeting at the US Institute of Peace and would have lunch with newspaper editors. Later, he would go to Capitol Hill for a meeting with the Foreign Relations Committee of Senate and later address the bipartisan Pakistani American Caucus. So far, 40-plus lawmakers have already signed up for this meeting.

PM Khan would also meet Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi before returning home on July 23.

“This summit-level interaction is happening after a five-year gap. In these five years, bilateral relations got from bad to worse,” said the foreign minister, crediting the PM for halting this decline.

^Interesting article.

Weinbaum and USIP (host to Moeed Yusuf) are clearly Paki proxies/channels.

The reason that he wants to stay at the embassy/ambassador's residence is being presented as cost saving, but it is possible that the old court case about his illegitimate daughter might be causing him concerns and he can stay out of the reach of US law by staying in diplomatic properties.

Also, they seem to be trying to mimic whatever Modi has done on recent trips (address diaspora, meet with business leaders etc) for H&D and equal-equal reasons.

Imran has nothing new to promise, US visit will be weak on substance: ex-Pak diplomat, Jul 21, 2019.
Khan, 66, accompanied by Pakistani Army Chief Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa and the director general of Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), arrived in the US on a commercial Qatar Airways plane on Saturday afternoon.
Imran Khan’s maiden visit to the US as Pakistan’s Prime Minister will be “weak in substance” and there is nothing he can promise that hasn’t been promised before, a former top diplomat has said. “Imran Khan will be selling old wares to a new US president. There is nothing he can promise that hasn’t been promised before,” former Pakistan Ambassador to the US Hussain Haqqani told PTI. Khan, 66, accompanied by Pakistani Army Chief Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa and the director general of Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), arrived in the US on a commercial Qatar Airways plane Saturday afternoon. “The visit will be weak on substance, notwithstanding the symbolic value of a Pakistani prime minister and the army chief showing up at the White House together to make new promises on counterterrorism cooperation,” Haqqani said.
Khan is scheduled to meet the US President Donald Trump at the White House on Monday. Following a meeting in the Oval Office, Trump will host the visiting prime minister for a working lunch at the White House. “The fact that the COAS (Bajwa) and DG ISI are accompanying the PM on his first trip to the US since he was elected makes it clear that Khan is not in charge and the army wants to deal with the US directly to reassure the Americans,” Haqqani said in response to a question. Ahead of Khan’s arrival, a senior administration official ruled out any changes in its policy of suspension of security aid to Pakistan till the time Islamabad takes decisive and irreversible actions against terrorist groups inside its territory.

This is 400% true. They seem to copy Indian ideas especially Modi's but without aukaat or money :rotfl:

A few examples:

Modi launched Swachh Bharat and made it a success. IK copied and launched "Clean Pakistan" campaign. Nothing happened with it except for one day photo op. As I said no aukaat or money.

Modi launched a housing scheme to provide affordable housing for the poor. IK too launched "Naya Pakistan" housing scheme.

They have even begun talking about "Make in Pakistan". I hope they don't copy the logo too :mrgreen:

https://nation.com.pk/14-Oct-2018/gover ... tor-dawood
LAHORE - Adviser to Prime Minister for Commerce, Textile, Industry, Production & Investment, Abdul Razak Dawood has said that “Make in Pakistan” will be promoted and made a buzz word to strengthen manufacturing sector.
Perhaps the funniest case of them copying an Indian idea is that from a Narayan Murthy's interview where he suggested Indian Govt should work out an agreement with US to send 10000 PhD students every year to top US universities. He suggested this in Jan
2016 https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/bus ... 780069.cms

In September 2016, Pakistan's HEC announced 10000 PhD scholarships for US https://www.dawn.com/news/1282794. I wonder how's that going.

Actually something did happen..Per reports the highest ranking American at the Airport to receive IK was a cleaning lady. :rotfl:

And now this..
Pakistan Embassy in Washington has confirmed Pakistan offered to pay $250,000 for the US State Department to arrange a higher ranking official welcome/protocol of Imran Khan by senior US officials at airport but Americans apologized. :)

Allowing China a military presence in Pakistan is harmful for the country for the following reasons: Pakistan will take a hit to its sovereignty, and the Pakistani military and civilian leadership will have little-to-no say in determining how China decides to use that facility. Also, the Chinese military presence on Pakistani soil will make Pakistan a target in the event of a clash between China and India. The Chinese interest in Pakistan’s northwest has already raised eyebrows in New Delhi, which remains hopeful that its Chabahar port in Iran will allow it to enter the regional market in Afghanistan and Central Asia. India has invested a great deal in that venture and would not like the port to be under any threat. The potential for conflict will grow.

IKs US Vis

Its so appears that the real reason for IKs visit to US, is the IMF, decree that if all the 27 points, of FATF are not agreed to by September 30th, the next tranche of IMF will not come in.

However, Khan, whose country is undergoing a financial crisis, also chose to stay at the Pakistan Embassy in Washington during his three-day visit instead of an expensive hotel amid an austerity drive.

total BS

there are some paternity suits still pending against imran khan niazi in the US. He doesn't want to be arrested mid visit. No guarantee whatsoever of him getting bail, under the circumstances.

After some extended cavity searches, imran khan niazi could well end up in guantanamo, given the anti paki mood that uncle donald is currently in.

but uncle donald should be able to help out with the paternity suits, having faced some of them himself.

right from the jinnah days, they are sharia as well as constitutionally mandated to carry the customary begging bowl as part of their islamic state duties.

IK niazi would never be caught without it :mrgreen:

if the giving of alms is a sharia mandated duty then the recieving of alms is an even greater duty of a momin.

Lindsey Graham for one - it looks like he visited Slumbad and Pindi, got sweet talked by both Imran and Pajwa, believed their bogus narrative, and played a key role in setting up the meeting with Trump.

Problem from the security POV for the Pakistani state is that Dimran can't be allowed to speak alone, he can't be allowed to stay in a hotel (the CIA will simply make videos of his antics all night long).

The man is a serious liability for them, yet they need him for media management purposes

Trump offers to mediate between Pakistan and India on Kashmir issue

WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump on Monday offered to mediate the decades-long Kashmir dispute between Pakistan and India, a move that would signal a shift in long-standing US policy that the issue must be solved bilaterally.

"If I can help, I would love to be a mediator," Trump said at the White House, where he was hosting Pakistan´s Prime Minister Imran Khan. "If I can do anything to help, let me know."

US President welcomed PM Imran Khan upon his arrival at the White House.

Trump further said that Pakistan is now helping the US advance on the Afghanistan peace process.

Earlier, the White House tweeted, “This afternoon, President @realDonaldTrump welcomes Prime Minister @ImranKhanPTI of Pakistan to the White House!”

Well, well, Trump bahadur strikes. Here was this meeting between Taliban Khan and Trump, but real fireworks will be on the airwaves in India with both US and TSP laughing. I am of course referring to Trump's claim or DDM's characterization of Trump's claim that ModiJi bent down on his knees and asked Trump for 'help' on Kashmir. And to this, Trump says he is ready to mediate. Leaving aside the absurdity of this, tells you the level of nonchalance and condescension Trump has for SDRE India knowing fully well how sensitive this issue is to India. Almost showing the middle finger to India's Lakshamn Rekha. Anyway, now you will see Congoons and an array of thugbandhan ass holes go berserk in an orgy of attack and mockery of ModiJi for this Trump claim. More sinister, it will energize TSPA/ISI/pigLeTs/KMs to keep up the pressure on India knowing that US is on their side.

More likely, ModiJi must have said something about linking aid to TSP with terror including TSP's pigLeTs in Kashmir, but Trump moron without paying any attention to details of what ModiJi said, must have just picked up on "Kashmir" and interpreted that as ModiJi asking for 'help'. But all those nuances won't matter, unless of course ModIji himself (or his spokesman) comes out and issues a strong rebuttal. Which I doubt. ModiJi as his wont will keep a stoic silence. I expect all and sundry come out and attack him.

The point is not whether ModiJi asked or he did not. India is denying it. But what should be clear is US mischief in raking up Kashmir. It also shows how little if any US belives that the only issue if at all in Kashmir is pigLeT terror from TSP. So as I above, the most most sinister aspect of Trump's verbal diarrhea is that it encourages TSPA/ISI to continue down this same path knowing that there will be no consequences, at least from its US-led 3.5.

India denies US President's claim on Kashmir mediation

"We have seen @POTUS's remarks to the press that he is ready to mediate, if requested by India & Pakistan, on Kashmir issue. No such request has been made by PM @narendramodi to US President," MEA spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said in alter night tweet on Monday.

Ministry of External Affairs has denied US President Donald Trump's claim that Prime Minister Narendra Modi asked him to mediate in Kashmir dispute with Pakistan.

"We have seen @POTUS's remarks to the press that he is ready to mediate, if requested by India & Pakistan, on Kashmir issue. No such request has been made by PM @narendramodi to US President," MEA spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said in alter night tweet on Monday.

He added: ""It has been India's consistent position that all outstanding issues with Pakistan are discussed only bilaterally. Any engagement with Pakistan would require an end to cross border terrorism. The Shimla Agreement & the Lahore Declaration provide the basis to resolve all issues between India & Pakistan bilaterally."

The statement was issued in reaction to the US President's claim that India had sought his help in resolving kashmir issue with Pakistan. Speaking to press after a meeting with Pakistan PM Imran Khan in White House in Washington DC, Trump offered to be the "mediator" between India and Pakistan on the Kashmir issue.

"If I can help, I would love to be a mediator. If I can do anything to help, let me know," Trump said in response to a question during his meeting with Prime Minister Khan in the Oval Office.

"We have a very good relationship with India. I know that your relationship (with India) is strained a little bit, maybe a lot. But we will be talking about India (it's) a big part of our conversation today and I think maybe we can help intercede and do whatever we have to do. It's something that can be brought back together. We will be talking about India and Afghanistan both," Trump told Khan.

Trump told Imran Khan that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had asked him to mediate in the dispute.

The MEA statement is worded diplomatically, not a very strong repudiation of Trump's claim, just restating India's traditional position. It does seem to me however, that there was some mention of Kashmir between ModiJi and Trump during G-20 meet. We don't know exact details. Only way to know would be for media in both countries to find out. US media could care less about truth or lack thereof in what Trump said about India and TSP, it will back to domestic politics BS, and in India, everybody in the media, particularly thugbandhan will be rip ModiJi apart, his supporters will offer mute defense through the MEA denial, but we the public will never know what exactly ModiJI and Trump discussed on Kashmir.

Maybe whatever was discussed was just interpreted by Trump as his claims indicate. Or maybe ModiJi and Trump discussed the region and what ails it, and in this connection, Kashmir came up, and ModiJi was being sarcastic about US mediation and Trump didn't understand the sarcasm (quite possible).

Or as my best guesstimate is, Trump and his racist mofos just don't take India and India's TSP terror concerns seriously enough and still cling to this hackneyed colonial concoction that everything will be pristine if only the 2 naught boys, India and TSP, are made to make up and serve as US choir boys. And in fact, Trump's puke that India & TSP are 2 great countries shows you that India TSP equal equal is as strong a US policy as ever.

But behind this Kashmir bombshell, did Taliban Than score any goodies? Like Fsoals, lotsa aid, reprieve on FATF etc?

I am of course referring to Trump's claim or DDM's characterization of Trump's claim that ModiJi bent down on his knees and asked Trump for 'help' on Kashmir. And to this, Trump says he is ready to mediate. Leaving aside the absurdity of this, tells you the level of nonchalance and condescension Trump has for SDRE India knowing fully well how sensitive this issue is to India. Almost showing the middle finger to India's Lakshamn Rekha. Anyway, now you will see Congoons and an array of thugbandhan ass holes go berserk in an orgy of attack and mockery of ModiJi for this Trump claim. More sinister, it will energize TSPA/ISI/pigLeTs/KMs to keep up the pressure on India knowing that US is on their side.

It's not just Trump and Trumpistas, no US administration wants to take India's concerns seriously because using TSP as the cat's paw to needle India is an American policy that transcends administrations and political parties. Be realistic, how are these statements different from the diplomatically worded rubbish that used to be spouted by previous administrations?

I think we and especially you CamS should stop getting chaddies into a twist, everytime a POTUS goes into meltdown. They seem to change minds more frequently than baby diapers. The follow up statement from the White House has no mention of the MinK-word. It only calls on Bakistan to decisively act against terror groups.

Trump learned Paki method. Show lollypop and get worked done in Afghanistan and later on take "U" turn siting Imran's famous line that those leader who take "U" Turn are the only great leader.
