UK Troops in Afghanistan say they are fighting Pakistanis
Brunei News.Net
Tuesday 6th May, 2008
UK troops fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan have claimed that nearly 60 percent of the guerrillas they are fighting are Pakistanis.
Without disclosing their source of intelligence, the British troops said that they heard the guerillas speaking in Punjabi accents and had found Pakistani papers and telephone contacts on dead fighters.
UK troops say the ideologically driven young men consider their fighting role to be religious obligation or jihad.
Afghan officials have said that Islamabad is turning a blind eye to the flow of terrorists from Pakistan into Afghanistan.
Lieutenant Colonel Nick Borton, commanding officer of Battle group South, has said: "Our understanding is that the Madressahs of northern Pakistan are the major breeding ground that provide the bulk of brainwashed Taliban fighters."
The guerillas are thought to come from militant hotspots such as Waziristan and Swat, but also from Punjab, a rich agricultural province with a history of producing radical Muslims.

UK Troops Bog Losers
this is a very irresponsible behavior of UK troops to blame others. they know that they have lost his war so they’ve started blaming other countries for their own mistakes. Come on UK troops grow up! do some adult talk!

Grow a pair
Ok, since you don’t have a clue, go to your local military recruiter, (Marine, Army, US or Brits) and they will instruct you on how it’s done. Then if you still think we are wrong, go to the other side and we will take care of you again. with lots of love.

How could they distingquish ,who is who. The answer to that is: Pakistan has a different formula in making Garam Masala.the Afgan add on a little dust of cocaine and the Pakistani is little dust of gunpowder.The afgan one leg is shorter than the other and the pakistani walk side way.the reason why the have one leg shorter than the other is the afgan has to balance themselves when walking in the mountain and the pakistani has to walk side ways because they might get ran over by the rickshaw.

Islamabad is (not likely) turning a blind eye
It seems the Pakistani governent can’t control this part of thire own country.
If the “ideologically driven young men” Want to cross the border and have the Brits do Islanabad’s job... I’m sure it’s so much the better.
