PARACHINAR, Pakistan – Army helicopter gunships pounded insurgent hideouts in northwest Pakistan on Sunday, killing at least 22 militants, a government official said.

Samiullah Khan said the hideouts hit were in the Dabori area and its neighboring villages of the Orakzai tribal region near the Afghan border. He added the aerial strikes also destroyed six militant compounds.

Khan said the militants fired mortars at an army checkpoint in Mishti Mela area in Lower Orakzai, wounding two soldiers.

Pakistani forces launched an operation in Orakzai in mid-March to flush out militants who last year fled an army offensive in South Waziristan. The troops are believed to have retaken several areas from the Taliban in the region.

Thousands of people have fled the area. Most of them have moved in with relatives in nearby districts.

Independent confirmation of the casualties and the identities of those killed is virtually impossible because the region is remote and dangerous and media access there is restricted.

The tribal region is the primary base of Pakistani Taliban chief Hakimullah Mehsud.

Mehsud was believed killed in a mid-January suspected U.S. missile strike, but intelligence officials now say he is thought to have survived.

The Taliban had always denied the strike killed Mehsud, though failed to offer any evidence such as video footage of him.

Its all a Game,Army will kill a few, but support more to go over border, Salafis are very liked by the Pakistani neo jihadi network. its all a game, its a curse upon us to be a society of armed militia's. we will never progress with modern times, we will always be the gate keeping salafi jihadi brainwashed Arab/Punjabi mercarary.

^If we unify we can.
we've been through this before.


Afghanistan was once a powerhouse remember?

the old times are gone and are the past, back in the day we didnt have as much players playing on us. today we have people using the name of Islam to deceive us, such as salafists and neo zionist wahabists using our struggle and poverty to fight for their interests and struggles.

How can we be united when u got pashtuns who are willing to give a pashtun to an african salafist from Africa.

Our future is doomed

I don't think they hate...ye there were those in peshawar who were hawaee and called Afghanistan people mahajir. When the bad times come on them, I would love to see other provinces open the doors to them,then we will see their jeevae jeevae (like the love swat/shangla/buner idps got). Za kho waemaa lag parthagoona warna obaatssee nu lag pakhto pa kae ba raashee. Its harsh but true.
