The sneer quotes in the headline are, of course, from Reuters. (Thanks to Jeffrey Imm for the link.) This story shows that foreign "militants," i.e., jihadists, are still training in that area.
WANA, Pakistan (Reuters) - Pakistani jet fighters and helicopter gunships pounded what the military called a terrorist training camp near the Afghan border on Thursday, killing at least 50 mostly foreign militants.Witnesses said government troops clashed with tribesmen loyal to the militants well into the afternoon following the attack near Dila Khula, 25 km (15 miles) northeast of Wana, the main town of the South Waziristan tribal region.
"We have learned that 50 people are dead, mostly foreigners," said a military spokesman, who asked not to be named.
"Investigations are going on, and there is a possibility that the number of casualties may increase."
When asked to comment on local reports of heavy civilian casualties, he added, "They were all militants and if there were any locals they would have to be part of those militants."
Pakistan, alongwith Saudi and Iran can be ranked as the most dangerous islamist regime in existence.
For a humorous, though fact-filled, treatise on how the Pakistanis have so far managed to successfully dupe the Americans in the "War on Terror", read

12th September is when Jan Sobieski of Poland, defeated the turks (muslims) in the Battle of Vienna. Celebrate it!
Another song and dance by Mushy. When caught with pants down go attack and bomb some tribal areas, kill a few who have opposed current regime and call it a strike on a terrorist camp. Any one who follows news knows that Pakistan is the main source of terrorism around the world and every known terrorist has his footprints at some time or other in Pakistan. Since 9-11 Every major terrorist arrest has been in Pakistan, some of them in major cities and in gated exclusive communities. Also Pakistan is the one country that has sold nuclear technology to North Korea and the scums of middle east. I am Just amazed that they have been fool the whole world in general and US in perticular
I'm not impressed,a few grains of sand in the desert of Islamo-fascism.
Pakistan is rife with Islamo-terrorist-scum.
Hi all,
This is really good news. Our Commander, General Sultan was on TV. He says they found underground shelters with laptops, guns, bombs and timers.
This just goes to show how Pakistan is on the same side in trying to reduce the war on terror.
Come on show your support, we are all in this together.
Hopefully our ISI will find more information on the computers.
Naseem,
You mean that same ISI that helped create the Taliban, those towel headed Islamic vermin.
Pakistan needs to be turned into a parking lot.
"In fact, the rising militancy of Pakistani officials is far from empty rhetoric, for Islamabad has used the increasing tension in Kashmir as pretext for expanding its terrorist training and support system for operations in Central Asia and elsewhere in the world".
"To that end, the ISI has established the Markaz-Dawar, a center for worldwide Islamist activities. Mulavi Zaki, the center's spiritual leader, has told the trainees that their destiny is to fight and liberate "the land of Allaha from infidels wherever they might be. The commanders and instructors at Markaz-Dawar are AIM members, primarily Ikhwan from Algeria, Sudan and Egypt, and most of them have more than a decade of combat experience in Afghanistan".
Naseem,
You seem really proud of your ex-countries acheivements, but I bet you're still one of the infidel-hating ,pakistani, cockroaches littering the streets of the UK.
If Pakistans so great, why leave???
And if we were "in this together", as you declare, then we'd have pakistanis in the UK pointing out hate-preaching imams and terrorists working in asian no-mans-land parts of cities such as Bradford and Leicester.
"In this together" my arse!!!
Back to the topic at hand, maybe this was a terrorist training camp, who knows???
They're remaining tight-lipped about it for a reason though and it could just as easily be ethnic cleansing on dhimmis.
Or perhaps the CIA are trying to keep a lid on it.
Until we know more I think we should all refrain from hasty speculation.
Rikki,
Pakistan's days are numbered.
India is just about ready to nuke that Islamic toilet.
