WANA: Pakistan Army and local tribes on Monday foiled an attempt of US troops to enter inside Pakistan’s territory through two American helicopters.According to sources, US troops boarded on two helicopters were trying to enter onto Pakistan’s areas near Angoor Adda along Pak-Afghan border when local tribes and troops of Pakistan army resisted the move and opened fire, forcing US helicopters to return.
Meanwhile, Pakistan’s authorities haven’t offically confirmed the incident.
We need to put the big smackdown on those Paki upstarts before they try to turn this into another damn Somalia.
Fly over, bait them out then drop a MOAB on them.
What BS.
Aircraft could easily fly around whatever positions the “tribes” held and go on their merry way or just fly higher out of rifle range.
This story is a crock.
But reads well in Islamabad.
“You’re either with us or against us” so it’s time to take these scumbags out once and for all.
good to see they are finally admitting which side they are on...
and other things...
interesting to know the pak soldiers were there and were NOT fighting....
as guessed we have been sold a pup by the paks...
We don't have enough information to know yet.
I've seen a number of articles get branded as "a crock" that turn out that way. Others turn out to be accurate.
The aircraft could have been doing NOE to pick up some guys or drop them off. It happens all the time.
Afghanistan ping.
