12 'terrorists' killed in Khyber Agency air strikes

Either the area was clear ? Means civilian are evacuated before this was done ?

LANDI KOTAL: Fresh air raids in Khyber Agency’s Tirah valley killed at least twelve suspected terrorists, and destroyed dozens of their hideouts, sources said on Sunday.

Following a tip-off, jet fighters bombed the hideouts in the early hours of the day.

Tirah air blitz kills seven terrorists

Although the security forces did not release a statement, local sources confirmed the bombing, as well as the terrorists’ death toll.

The military has cleansed the erstwhile militant-infested valley in two operations, codenamed Khyber-I and Khyber-II. In August, the army mounted another offensive, Khyber-III, to target terrorists holed up in the area beyond Tirah valley, right on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.

Question is was the area evacuated ? Where is the local population ?

Then we have International Music artists returning to Pakistan . Akcent , Guns and Roses Guitarist , Grammy Nominees like DJ Diplo and even Edward Maya performing in a city like Peshawar (which borders FATA ) . This type of Buzz was only seen pre -2006 .

THis means nothing; this isn't aj indication that things are safe, this only means these people are dumb.

Nice try in avoiding 90 % of the post . Sure if it isn't why does nobody visit Afghanistan like ever ? Even though its right beside Peshawar .

The five star PC hotel where Edward Maya secretly performed for little more than 100 people, is the most guarded area in Peshawar and seems like Warzone due to heavy presence of Army soldiers, check posts, barbed wires etc

You mean the post where you're rationalizing the dismal state of Pakistan?

[Samandri]

Means civilian are evacuated before this was done ?

Nope......the so called suspected terrorists killed in Tirah are mostly civilians

[Iblis_Efreetzai]

? Even though its right beside Peshawar .

Because AFghans aren't bold face lying about the safety and security information just to scam people out of cash?

It was held in Hayatabad Roots campus not PC

Because AFghans aren't bold face lying about the safety and security information just to scam people out of cash?

Or maybe because the ticket would be too damn high for a normal Afghan ? Or maybe they dont want to get killed ?

ISLAMABAD: The open skies of Pakistan’s capital resonated with sick beats of electronic dance music (EDM) Saturday night as local DJs set the stage for the Grammy-winning American musician Thomas Wesley Pentz aka Diplo.

Shah Rukh Khan and Diplo to work together?

Security personnel surrounded The Rock Musicarium near Lake View Park, as hordes of EDM enthusiasts gathered under the stars at the
semi-coliseum venue.

Musical duo Database started off the rave with a high-energy, one-hour set featuring popular mixes of tracks such as ‘Lean On’, ‘We’re Beautiful’ and ‘How Deep is Your Love’.

Diplo set to headline concert in Pakistan next month

Diplo took the stage around midnight. The king of EDM has worked with the likes of Britney Spears, Madonna, Shakira, Beyoncé, Justin Bieber, Usher, Snoop Dogg, Chris Brown and Bruno Mars among many other bigwigs of the global entertainment industry.

He flew out of the country right after taking Islamabad by storm but took to Facebook to share his experience with a heart-warming message.

“I spent 24 hours in Islamabad… Meeting young musicians, new fans, students, embassy folks, parents, artists, security guards, cricket players & bootleggers… I drank a lot of tea ate some amazing food. A few hours later I played a concert in the city in a beautiful amphitheater in a park for so many awesome kids that knew all the music.

“I couldn’t believe it … At the end of the show everyone backstage gave me hugs and hi fives and told me it was a good time but it didn’t feel normal. I almost felt like crying because here we all were at the end of the show with our peace signs in the air at the end of the concert doing something that might be arbitrary for us … On any Saturday night.. We do it every weekend and we don’t realize it’s a privilege.. For these kids from Islamabad Lahore or Karachi or the countryside this is the first time they have ever done that and it might not happen again for a long time.

“But tonight everyone danced and sang together and wished for a better future and maybe it might make it easier for it to happen. Thanks so much for inviting me,” shared Diplo in his post.

Its nothing new hollywood celebrities have been coming to Pakistan for a while now .The world is coming to Pakistan but only Afghans know the ground reality from war torn Kabul

Or maybe because the ticket would be too damn high for a normal Afghan ? Or maybe they dont want to get killed ?

I think the lying about safety is more likely since the average Pakistani can't afford it either. Samandri confirmed only 100 people were able to showed up.

Privileged people exploiting resources for their own amusement isn't unusual in Pakistan.

Boasting about being mentally colonized by Western pop culture isn't that impressive.

And I never even heard of DJ Diplo, which suggests you're getting all worked up about getting a D-list celebrity lol
