Afghan army, ISAF to share intelligence with Pakistan, conduct coordinated operations

[Da Bannu Mazdigar]

ISLAMABAD: The International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) and Afghan National Army came to an agreement with Pakistan on Tuesday for sharing intelligence between the respective forces and coordinated operations against militants in the mountainous border areas between Pakistan and Afghanistan.
The agreement comes as Pakistan pursues militants responsible for the Peshawar school massacre last week in which 149 people, including 133 children were killed.

The agreement came in a key meeting between Afghanistan Army Chief Gen Sher Mohammad Karimi, commander of US-led ISAF Gen John F Campbell and Chief of Army Staff General Raheel Sharif at the General Headquarters in Rawalpindi on Tuesday.

The army chief and the Afghan army chief agreed that their commanders will begin meeting immediately to further coordinate border area security operations.

The meeting comes amid reports of a significant development against Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) sanctuaries of in Kunar and Nuristan provinces of Afghanistan.

The visit comes a week after General Raheel Sharif traveled to Kabul seeking decisive action against TTP sanctuaries including its fugitive commander Mullah Fazlullah in Afghanistan. His visit On December 16 immediately followed a devastating attack on an army-run school in Peshawar, in which the TTP killed 148 people, including 132 children.

Both Afghanistan and ISAF assured the army chief they would eliminate militant hideouts after General Raheel shared ‘vital intelligence’ linking the Peshawar school massacre with TTP sanctuaries.

Further, the visit is also followed by an operation against TTP in Kunar on Tuesday led by the Afghan National Army.

According to the Inter-Services Public Relations, the army chief welcomed the start of operation against TTP in the areas close to Pak-Afghan border.

The army chief vowed to extend full support to the visiting Afghan chief of general staff and ISAF commander in all spheres, including coordinated operations in respective areas by both sides and sharing of intelligence.

The trilateral meeting discussed the overall security situation in the region, matters relating to coordination on the Pak-Afghan border and protocols put in place to improve border control.

The Afghan army chief and ISAF commander also expressed grief over the dastardly Peshawar massacre and both leaders assured their full support in the fight against terrorism and eliminating terrorists on Afghan soil.
The top Afghan and US general also acknowledged that due to Operation Zarb-e-Azb terrorist networks have been degraded.

Gen. Campbell expressed his hope that Tuesday’s agreements will help develop a long-lasting security foundation necessary to promote peace for both countries. He further emphasised that the international coalition remains committed to working with Pakistan and Afghanistan on these issues, and others, on the basis of mutual interest and respect

Thank for Dr Ashraf Ghani,

upto 150 Militants sent to hell

KABUL: At least 151 Taliban fighters have been killed by government forces during 12 days of fighting in the volatile east, near the border with Pakistan, the spokesman for the police chief of Kunar province said Tuesday.

Gen Abdul Habib Sayedkhaili said at least another 100 insurgents were wounded in the fighting in Dangam district. He said the Pakistani Taliban and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) – the group responsible for the attacks on Mumbai in 2008 in which more than 160 people were killed – were also taking part in the battle.

Afghan Army will be shooting itself in the foot by sharing intelligence with Pakis. They have zero-trust level.

[ghumbasa]

Ghani is smart.

[ComradePashtun]

Militants in Dangam have been dealt deadly blows over the past days. Initially the locals started rebelling and attacking the militant, most likely instigated and supported by the government however it seemed as if this was rebuffed by the militants and the locals started appealing for help after some houses of the villages in the area were burned will civilians also killed. Then the government sent in more troops and augmented the army and police presence, this continued with the ISAF started bombarding their positions. The fighting has died and the militants are being progressively repelled from the surrounding area and it is said they are to on their back foot.

We have no obligation in helping Pakistan with their militants and nor do we have the resources to stretch ourselves into areas of less strategic importance where our writ is negligible. We should use our strength and resources strategically and on priority basis. Afghan government would be stupid to add and open more fronts at the time when it is going to be assuming all the fighting responsibility from NATO and ISAF. Unless Pakistan genuinely dismantles sanctuaries of the Afghan Taliban and arrests their leaders, expansion of the war fronts is an utter folly by Ghani government.

[ComradePashtun]

As far as the issue of trust goes, which Toramana has pointed to, I would second that - the level of trust between the armies and security apparatus in general is probably very low. At least ours don't trust the Pakis and for good reasons they shouldn't. On the political level it looks like something to be going on.

[ComradePashtun]

Ghani is smart.

One should question when an enemy speaks seemingly good of the other, but I guess in yours case I will not.

An enemy? Lol...you guys leave no chance...lets see how far policies of govts on both sides go.And what outcome is there for people.

I would think Ghani will try to please pakis generals and at the end will be back stabbed by pakis! Lying and cheating is part of Paki culture...the real question is what ghani will do then. With Americans limited troops and limited international assistance what can Ghani do to pressured Pakis? I think asking India for more active role, including helping BLA and TTP--i would even say to recruit Afghan Balochs--in Nimrooz they make the most poverty striking people---ask India for $ and resources and send them over to aid BLA. I been saying this for past 10 years, if Pakis can send a village idiot to blow up things in Afghanistan why can't we return the favor? During soviet Pakis using Mujahdeen used to target Afghanistan infrastructure---dams, bridges, electricity plants, even factories--you name it all were fair game. Time to return the favor with interest...today Punjan gain more then what they lose by backing Taliban---time to make the lose more than gain. You burn a few of Pujos factor then you will see how much they will love Taliban.
BSA--will prevent Pakistan from direct action---not that they will dare send troops over. Bombing of border area maybe---just as they been bombing Kunar region for past 2 years..worst they will cut off the sea port access---but then there is also agreement with Iran for Chaghabour port access and with Iran and America nuclear agreement--which will happen in 6 months---America will not object. Pakis must be hold accountable for every single drop of Afghan blood they had shed!

Afghan,indian and american terrorists should also be held accountable for every drop of blood they ve shed in pakistan.Smh...asking for help of mushriks and sold outs and posting ayahs to suit own purpose.Signs of hypocrisy.

Leme tell a more beautiful scenario if india intervens....any country that helps usa...civil war is imminent there.Goa port has many israelis there plus cia.Kashmir has many israelis.Iran is surrounded by isis...the child of western spies plus khawarij.
Whats left pakistan.Its lahore ll be xaptured by infidels..it ll be surrounded by indians,iranians,isis,cia and israelis...hazara uzbek plus sold out govts.Till whole hind ll be conquered by muslims starting from attock going towards whole hind including delhi.Islam ll spread.Rule ll be for 40 yrs.Blood of kuffar coming from hind ll be spilled on river attock.Hindu rulers ll be slaved in shackles and the stones and gems ll be sent to jeruselum for decoration of al aqsa.

And there ll be also a war between pashtuns and remaining dajjalic slaves oin kabul.Thrice they ll try but ll fail.Kuffar ll nogotiate but to no avail.They ll give pledge to mehdi only thn ll be victory granted.Muslims ll move towards jersuselum in large numbers.

Now azmal...you can keep eyes on current events and proceed with your prophecies lololol.

This is scary, apparently educated girl like could think like that? I never said i would kill all pakis---only those responsible will need to pay for every single drop of afghan blood. You on other hand want to flow the blood of innocent people "kafir" like a river---this is barbarism. You sit in west and fantasias about killing---this is sickness! No human being deserve to be killed simply bc of religion he/she practice. There will be no Mahdi and no more fantasies of killing, god is not that cruel, for past 5000 years humans have used different idea and believes to ease their fear of death—religion is that---there were people who believed in fire, sun, moon, Egyptian, Greek had their own god and son of god…religion just like everything else evolves—sooner you fanatics paki realize it the better it will be for all humanity.

[Da Bannu Mazdigar]

Today Afghanistan has the military power in the shape of ANA and funds from the world.Today is the best chance to defeat talibs once for all.We can't expect peace with animals.

I just don't get it,talibs has killed thousand of our people and we are rushing toward peace deals with the same people that too under the conditions set by them.

I would say,Crush them,Crush them to death and create a new Afghanistan from scratch.

We are with you.

Enemies too ve rights in khilafa.No the blood of enemies engaged in battle field ll be spilled thst too because they ll be encircling the innocents.They ll start the war and innocents ll end it with the death of enemies.

Islam ll prevail not by kaffirs being killed but by conversion willingly in masses.People ll see the truth in islam and they ll know the prophecies of prophet mohammad saww as well as mehdi in their scriptures.It ll be a slow process or fast AllahuAlam.Today..this is exactly happening.The govt of india is trying best to stop the path of preachers.Many educated indian researchers sre working on their own scriptures and knowing the lies of pundits and swamis.

There is whole network of satan worshippers as magicians set in india bangladesh and pakistan indic regions.They misguide people from path of Allah.So dont shed tears of sympathy for those who ve sold their lives to satan for worldly pleasures.We ve govtal setup of each country serving their masters sitting in west.Once lahore ll be captured ,those slaves of dajjal ll come for pashtuns..

These are prophecies in quran,hadeeths and of awliya (saints) and pious people.I ve just searched them and connected the dots.I am not sitting in west.Neither do i desire for death or suffering of innocents.Once khilafa based on prophethood with mehdi and isa as ll be established..peace ll prevail and there ll be no poor.No one ll take zakat or money from baitul mal...such ll be the prosperity for people.After 40yrs earth quaks in hind and sindh.Then there ll be major signs emerhing.

Seeing the pacts of americans with pakistani govt today....i am worried pashtuns suffering inreal sense ll start.Our govts are sold outs.Same mirrpr images ll happen in india and bangladesh.

Discuss the prophecies in the religion section. Get a grip over the current state of affairs and yourself you hallucinating drifting wacko.
