The purpose of sharing this is to show the reality on the ground and the rhetoric that is being used by residents of insurgency affected areas like Kurram. People are openly coming out announcing their gratitude to militants and slandering state officials. The entire goal of an insurgent is to make the government seem illegitimate and incapable in the eyes of the locals. Commander Kazim has for the past 2 years terrorised state institutions openly and freely. Video footage of their attacks show him on the frontlines leading his members. How is it that the state has failed to apprehend him still? Is it an issue of intel, capabilities or intent? @Insurgent_Zone

According to reports, a Bomb Disposal (BD) party of the 186 Wing came under small arms fire from militants near the Wang Khuzi Post in Tehsil Salarzai, Bajaur district, today. Casualties reported:

· Lance Naik Saqib – killed · Sepoy Asad – injured

Continuous firing is also being reported from Torgut Post using small and heavy weapons. Security forces are reportedly responding to the engagement. Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has claimed responsibility for the attack.

The Bomb Disposal Unit (BDU) of Pakistani security forces successfully defused a suspected improvised explosive device (IED) discovered beneath a road near the District Press Club in Wana, South Waziristan. The device was found in a flood channel and was rendered safe through a controlled detonation. The area was cordoned off and traffic was temporarily suspended as a precautionary measure. The controlled blast caused alarm among occupants of nearby offices, but no casualties or damage were reported.

"at that time he told the police that if you submit i will dismiss all of you, you will not submit you will fight. Our police fought until they ran out of ammunition, they had no other choice but to surrender, firstly i want to thank our police officers for showing bravery and fighting and secondly i want to thank the Talibs because they also fought, and among them were injuries as well as the police but despite that they didn't martyr them, they could've slaughtered them on the roads, they could've shot them but despite baing able to they showed them mercy instead. I want to thank TTP's Kazim for having mercy on the children of Kurram and on the policemen of Kurram. Why should i be grateful to a pig like the DPO? who went and sat in the cannt and refused to go and fight. Why should i be grateful to a man like that? When a talib dies a child of kurram dies and when a policeman dies a child of kurram dies. I request the DPO to respectfully leave our area" The purpose of sharing this is to show the reality on the ground and the rhetoric that is being used by residents of insurgency affected areas like Kurram.
