Posted by: acm in Mumbai, Pakistan, terrorism, tags: Mumbai, Pakistan, terroristMaybe the Pakistan government was listening after the Mumbai attacks. They sent a military airstrike team into an area where the Taliban are hiding and killed about 30.
At least 30 Taliban militants were killed Wednesday during military air strikes in a restive Pakistani tribal district bordering Afghanistan, security officials said.
The strikes were carried out by Pakistani jets and helicopter gunships at militant hide outs in Mohmand tribal district bordering Afghanistan where the military is hunting Al-Qaeda linked Taliban militants.
“According to reports received here at least 30 militants were killed in the air strikes,” a security official told AFP.
“Two militant centres, a militant training camp and an ammunition dump were also destroyed in the air strikes,” he added.
Hopefully this is just not for show after the Mumbai attacks, Pakistan needs to keep this up.
