The reason this keeps happening is, of course, the shared goal among jihadist movements to impose Islamic law. Pakistan raid kills 'Arab, Sudan fighters'," from Agence France-Presse, December 31 (thanks to Sr. Soph):
AFP - Pakistan commandos raided a private hospital before dawn in a Taliban stronghold near the Afghan border Thursday, killing four foreign militants and a woman, officials said.
Troops laid siege to the private clinic in Wana, the main town of South Waziristan, at 2:00am (2100 GMT) sparking gun battles until around 7:00am (0200 GMT), local administration and intelligence officials said.
A security official said the raid followed a tip off that wounded militants were brought to the hospital from Sherwangi, a Taliban-dominated area where Pakistan has been pressing a major offensive.
"Commandos and security forces raided the hospital. Militants fired on the troops and in the gunfight, which lasted more than four hours, four militants and a woman were killed, while 22 others were arrested," said the official.
"One soldier was also injured. The three dead militants appear to be Arabs and one of Sudanese origin," the official added.
The identity of the woman was not initially clear, the official said.
An intelligence official and a local administrator confirmed the raid and deaths of four foreign militants, but said their identities were not immediately clear. The intelligence official said 27 suspects were arrested.
South Waziristan is part of Pakistan's semi-autonomous tribal belt on the Afghan border that Washington has branded the most dangerous region in the world and a chief sanctuary of Al-Qaeda plotting attacks on the West.
"An intelligence official and a local administrator confirmed the raid and deaths of four foreign militants."
I guess this means that ISI has concocted another lie to make Pakistan appear to be complying with US wishes to get tough with the Taliban in order to assure the continuing flow of US dollars.
Unfortunately, the showing of bodies would prove nothing...lots of death in Pakistan. Even with bodies, they might be Christians or other Kufr.
This is not to be believed until independently verified by our own intelligence services...if we can get a straight story out of them.

You can bet they're drawing straws to determine who has to go on these expeditions, which are a Kabuki of "civilized Moslems" killing just plain Moslems, a bad stage play that has to be acted out every few months or so to keep the Infidel money, technology, weapons, and ammo rolling in.

Eventually all that gear will be put to good use. When the moment comes, the Pakis won't point it northwest; they'll point it southeast. Watch out Hindus and Sikhs.
There is another story about five Americans who went to Pakistan with the intention of becoming part of the Taliband. If was all downhill from there. First, the locals didn't welcome them. Then, the Pakistanis arrested them. The efforts by the USA to return them to their homeland failed. According to the latest news, Pakistani Intessigence has asked their courts to prosecute and they are asking for life sentences! That's in a Pakistan jail. Anybody know what that is like? Does this really mean the Paks are getting tough on the terrorists?
