Mutilated bodies of two police constables found in Buner district, say police
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa police on Saturday recovered beheaded bodies of two police constables from Elum Mountain in Buner district, DawnNews reported.
The constables, identified as Faisal Wahid and Tariq, had reportedly gone missing two days ago when they were on a patrolling duty in the area. There had been no news about them for the past two days, until today, when their bodies were recovered by the police.
Following the recovery of mutilated corpses, the law enforcement agencies cordoned off the area and started investigations into the incident.

Retired Pakistani senator exposes Pak Fauj's hand in removing Ganja
Contours of the endgame
The creeping coup has taken quite a long time to reach the endgame.
It all started soon after the newly elected government of Muslim League led by Nawaz Sharif assumed power after winning the general election in 2013.
The fault lines between the elected civilian government and the so-called permanent state (security establishment) appeared quite soon.
The first issue that led to a rift between the two sides was the determination of Nawaz Sharif to normalize relations with the neighbors in general and with India in particular.
The policy of reconciliation with India is a red rag to the security establishment as a confrontation with the big neighbor to the east is the ideological basis of the security state and a justification for the hegemony of security establishment over the state system.
The second issue that polarized relations between civilian and military branches of the state were the decision of Nawaz Sharif government to put the former military dictator General (r) Pervez Musharraf on trial for abrogating the Constitution.
General Musharraf has the dubious distinction of abrogating the Constitution twice; first in 1999 and again in 2007.
The government wanted to put him on trial for the second abrogation because unlike other cases in the past, the Supreme Court neither upheld the abrogation in 2007 nor was it later condoned by the Parliament.
So it appeared an open and shut case.
When the Special Tribunal decided to indict Pervez Musharraf in the high treason case, the retired general took refuge in a military hospital and refused to appear before the court.
After a brief standoff between state institutions, the former dictator was allowed by the court on “ medical grounds” to go abroad after some behind the scene manipulations.
Once out of the country, General Musharraf wasn’t shy of saying on record that he was helped by the former Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Raheel Sharif in going abroad.
Be that as it may, these developments made the gap between the elected government and the security establishment unbridgeable and the later decided to go for the former.
Most of the older political parties had learned their lesson in the musical chairs game of 1990.
But Imran Khan of the PTI was prepared to lend his shoulder to the deep state for use against Nawaz Sharif government in hope for a shortcut to power through political engineering.
The sit-in in 2014 against “ rigged elections “ was phase one.
The nerve center of the civilian power in Islamabad was under a menacing physical siege for months.
Parliamentarians and Supreme Court judges had to reach their chambers through back doors as the main gates were occupied by putschists who were publicly declaring their allegiance to the umpire who was expected to raise his finger for sending the elected Prime Minister (PM) back to the pavilion.
The rabble-rousers to justify the intervention of anti-democratic forces attacked state television station.
Not only that.
Now we know that special messengers had also called upon the PM warning him to resign or be prepared to face the music of the martial law.
But that was not to be for two reasons.
One, most of the political parties rallied around the Constitutional system and publicly declared to unite against the putsch.
Two, the PM kept his nerve and refused to bow to the machinations of the deep state.
After the horrible massacre of school children and teachers in APS Peshawar in December 2014 in a terrorist attack, the putschists were forced to back off.
But as we learned later, the retreat was temporary.
They were waiting for the first available opportunity.
Leakage of Panama Papers in 2015 provided what was later called a God-given opportunity by the putschists.
The deep state and its cheerleaders pounced on this opportunity in the name of “ accountability, “ and the creeping coup that had started in 2014 found a way to enter the next stage.
As the contours of the endgame are now emerging the irony is crystalizing.
After all, it is the same old game.
“ Accountability” has been the main political plank of all the putschists for showing the door to civilian government, from Ayub Khan to Zia-ul-Haq and Pervez Musharraf.
The only difference is that the process would start after the dismissal of the civilian set up but this time rounds a sitting Prime Minister has been targeted by successful political engineering of the deep state.
Probably after 18th Constitutional Amendment (2010), there is no room for direct open interference by the non-democratic forces.
So the higher judiciary equipped by JIT had to do the job.
But the job is done quite crudely.
Out of hundreds of names in Panama Papers, only one family has been singled out for “accountability.
” As if that wasn’t enough, the deepest irony is that after so much sound and fury over Panama Nawaz Sharif wasn’t disqualified on it.
He was disqualified over a UEA stay visa and the proposed salary from his son’s firm that wasn’t withdrawn by him.
Even after his ouster, the siege of the government is intensifying, and it is quite evident that this government will not be allowed to hold Senate’s election in March 2018 and general elections after that.
The ground is being paved for some “ caretaker” set up.
Efforts for creating yet another king’s party are now a matter of public knowledge.
Remarks by the Chief Justice about receiving “ calls from the public “ for taking action indicate the direction of the unfolding situation.
In the past higher judiciary would be used to uphold the decision by the deep state for removing the civilian government.
This time around it will be the advanced contingent in removing the civilian setup.
The answer to the following two questions can determine the outcome of the next round of the power politics.
One, Nawaz Sharif during the last four years weakened himself by sidelining the Parliament and by ignoring the significance of alliance among democratic forces.
Has he learned his lessons and will he behave differently in the new round? Two, Pakistan is facing severe prospects of international isolation on the question of extremist militancy in the country.
Will the security establishment, which cannot deny links with the elements as mentioned earlier anymore, is willing to or capable of jettisoning this liability?

'If Pak fails to act against terrorists, US will get it done in a different way'
"We have communicated our expectations to Pakistan numerous times that they must take decisive action against terrorist groups based within their own borders," Nauert said.
At a news conference in Geneva, his last stop on the current foreign travel, Tillerson said the US had "a very healthy exchange of information on terrorists, which is what we really hope to achieve with Pakistan."
Tillerson said the message to Pakistan was: "Here's what we need for Pakistan to do. We're asking you to do this; we're not demanding anything. You're a sovereign country. You'll decide what you want to do, but understand this is what we think is necessary. And if you don't want to do that, don't feel you can do it, we'll adjust our tactics and our strategies to achieve the same objective a different way." {Wow}
Tillerson said that he would not characterise his direct discussions with the Pakistani leadership as lecturing at all.
"It was a very good and open exchange. In fact, we probably listened 80 per cent of the time and we talked 20 per cent. And it was important to me, because I have not engaged with Pakistani leadership previously. And, so my objective was to listen a lot, to hear their perspective," he said.
"We put our points forward. We put our expectations forward in no uncertain terms. There has been significant engagement prior to my visit, and there will be further engagement in the future, as we work through how we want to exchange information and achieve the objective of eliminating these terrorist organisations, wherever they may be located," Tillerson said.
Tillerson described his communication with the Pakistani leadership as very frank and very candid.
"We had the joint meeting with Prime Minister Abbasi and the full leadership team. And then I had a second meeting with Army General Bajwa and a couple of his close advisers, so we could have a more thorough discussion about some of the specifics," he said, adding that he thinks that it was a very open, candid and frank exchange.
"There's nothing to be achieved by lecturing, but we should be very clear about expectations and what we're asking. And either people will step up and meet those expectations or they won't. We are going to chart our course consistent with what Pakistan not just says they do but what they actually do," Tillerson said.
Noting that the future course of action would be based on conditions on the ground, he said the entire South Asia strategy is a conditions-based strategy.
Pakistan Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif in a meeting yesterday with National Assembly Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs said that Pakistan will neither surrender to the US nor compromise on its sovereignty.

Paki response.....
Why mindless bullying cannot and will not help Pak-US ties
A do-more mantra without a road map to closer, more durable ties with the US is akin to bullying by a superpower. Bilateral ties cannot and will not be helped if mindless hectoring by the US continues.
That Mr Tillerson has chosen to use even stronger language in Afghanistan and India when referring to Pakistan is sure to make Pakistan’s hackles rise. There is no quicker formula to undermining relations with Pakistan than lecturing this country.
Lecturing Pakistan, as Mr Tillerson and other US officials are doing, without recognising its legitimate security interests, is a recipe for more regional tension.

You can keep whipping a donkey but you still can't change it into a horse. The Pakis will continue doing what they were and are doing till the end of days. They are Incorrigible. It's a country in complete denial and has its head deep in the sand.
It will take an act of God to make Pak turn its ship around.

Anti-India mindset in Pakistan sky-rockets Tomato prices to Rs 300 / kg
An anti-India hysteria whipped up by the politicians is responsible for tomato prices peaking at Rs.300 per kg in Lahore and other cities in the country, a Pakistani daily said in an opinion piece on Friday.
The article, published by the Dawn newspaper, criticized the government for not allowing import of ordinary goods from India and said that the anti-trade hysteria has hurt the ordinary citizens in Pakistan.
Slamming a Pakistan minister's justification that “Why pass on the advantage to foreign farmers instead of our own?”, it said the lawmaker needs be taught a lesson by throwing a whole load of rotten tomatoes on his head.
The article also criticised the minister for suggesting that “an influential mafia” has been trying to resume Indian imports which “would not be allowed”.
The policy of favouring homemade products and ignoring the welfare of the consumers, who vastly outnumber the former is simply unacceptable, it said, adding the government is elected to enhance the welfare of the majority.
“The fact of the matter is that a blind nationalism is at the bottom of this ridiculous anti-trade stance that is hurting the budget of the vast majority of citizens,” the author said in the opinion piece.
“At the time when tomatoes were selling for Rs300 a kilo in Lahore they were available at Indian Rs40 a kilo in Amritsar a mere 30 miles away.
“But a visceral Indo-phobia, shared by many of our influentials, stood in the way of consumers benefiting from the lower priced supply,” he wrote.

And they lie through their teeth to the Americans that there are no terrorist safe havens on Porki soil! I hope the Yanks don't buy it this time. For far too long has the tail wagged the dog. It's time the Americans wake up to the reality and put the screws on Terroristan.

^^ One liar lying to another, how does it matter?
Americans are happy being shafted in Afghanistan, so let them be...And as recent events and remarks of Tillerson and SDOTUS showed, showed, nothing has changed, nor it ever will.

Ishaq Dar got lost in Tajikistan, found in Saudi Arabia
(More drama in the land of the pure,economic hitman escapes?)
Pakistan’s Finance Minister Ishaq Dar has not returned to the country Saturday after completing his tour to Dushanbe, Tajikistan to attend 16th Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) Ministerial Meeting.
The PML-N minister, who is facing embezzlement and money laundering charges, had flown to the Central Asian state aboard a special plane from Islamabad with three other people. However, the plane returned Saturday without Dar.
Later in the day, a picture of Mr. Dar performing Umrah emerged on social media, sparking speculations that he (Dar) has joined ex-PM Nawaz Sharif in Saudi Arabia and is not intended to make an immediate return fearing arrest.
An accountability court has indicted Dar in a corruption reference filed against him by the National Accountability Bureau. According to the reference, Dar possesses assets beyond his declared sources of income.

US shares names of 20 terror groups with Pakistan
Anwar Iqbal
Updated November 02, 2017
WASHINGTON: The White House retains a list of 20 terrorist groups that the Trump administration claims are operating in Pakistan and Afghanistan and is believed to have shared this list with Pakistani officials, diplomatic sources told Dawn.
Mr Tillerson told the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Monday that Pakistan was willing to target terrorists if provided specific information about their whereabouts and Washington plans to give Islamabad the opportunity to do so.
Addressing another briefing, Mr Tillerson said the US and Pakistan had been engaged in “a very healthy exchange of information on terrorists” since his visit to Islamabad last week, which aimed at re-enforcing US President Donald Trump’s message to Pakistan to take action against the Taliban and the Haqqani network.
He said the information that the US delegation gave Pakistan went “beyond just names of individuals” and also expected “to receive information” from Pakistan that would be useful in targeting militants”.
The future exchange of information, he said, would go beyond “specific location on any given day of where certain individuals or certain cells may be located.”
The White House list, released on The Washington Post’s demand, includes three types of militants groups: those who launch attacks into Afghanistan, those who attack targets inside Pakistan and those who are focused on Kashmir.
Top on the list is the Haqqani network which, the United States claims, has safe havens in Fata and uses them to launch attacks into Afghanistan. Pakistan strongly rejects the charge, saying that there are no such safe havens inside the country.
Harakatul Mujahideen is a Pakistan-based militant group operating primarily in Kashmir. The US says that group had links to Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda as well.
Jaish-e-Mohammed operates mainly in Kashmir and the liberation of the Indian occupied Kashmir is its declared objective.
Jundullah is associated with the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and was commanded by militant Hakimullah Mehsud, the Emir of TTP until his death in November 2013. It had vowed allegiance to the militant Islamic State group.
The United States identified Lashkar-e-Taiba as one of the largest and most active terrorist organisations in South Asia. Founded in 1987 by Hafiz Saeed, Abdullah Azzam and Zafar Iqbal in Afghanistan, the group had its headquarters in Muridke. It too is focused on Kashmir.
Lashkar-e-Taiba was involved in the 2001 Indian parliament attack and the 2008 Mumbai attacks.
Lashkar-i-Jhanghvi, an offshoot of anti-Shia sectarian group Sipah-i-Sahaba Pakistan, was founded by former SSP activists Riaz Basra, Malik Ishaq, Akram Lahori and Ghulam Rasool Shah.
The US blames this group for committing hundreds of target killings and dozens of mass attacks inside Pakistan.
Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan, an umbrella organisation of various militant groups, was based in Fata, but has now relocated to Afghanistan. The US says that the group wants to enforce its own interpretation of Sharia and plans to unite against Nato-led forces in Afghanistan. It has conducted hundreds of terrorist attacks inside Pakistan.
Other groups on the list are: Harakatul Jihadi-i-Islami, Jamaatul Ahrar, Jamaatud Dawa al-Quran and Tariq Gidar Group, which is one of 13 TTP affiliates. The Tariq Gidar Group has been behind some of the deadliest attacks inside Pakistan, including the Dec 16, 2014, massacre at the Army Public School in Peshawar that left 132 schoolchildren and nine staffers dead.
Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Commander Nazir Group, Indian Mujahideen, Islamic Jihad Union, Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan ISIS-Khorasan, Al Qaeda in the Indian Sub-Continent and the Turkistan Islamic Party Movement are also on the list. (Wow!)

Pak has become a hell hole of terrorists. But they insist there are NO terror sanctuaries in Pak! One can't wake up a moron who's pretending to sleep.
Here's where the terror camps are in POK which the Pakis deny.......
Recruitment and training camps are in Red. Launch pads are marked in yellow.

Top on the list is the Haqqani network which, the United States claims, has safe havens in Fata and uses them to launch attacks into Afghanistan. Pakistan strongly rejects the charge, saying that there are no such safe havens inside the country.
Harakatul Mujahideen is a Pakistan-based militant group operating primarily in Kashmir. The US says that group had links to Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda as well.
Jaish-e-Mohammed operates mainly in Kashmir and the liberation of the Indian occupied Kashmir is its declared objective.
Jundullah is associated with the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and was commanded by militant Hakimullah Mehsud, the Emir of TTP until his death in November 2013. It had vowed allegiance to the militant Islamic State group.
The United States identified Lashkar-e-Taiba as one of the largest and most active terrorist organisations in South Asia. Founded in 1987 by Hafiz Saeed, Abdullah Azzam and Zafar Iqbal in Afghanistan, the group had its headquarters in Muridke. It too is focused on Kashmir.
Lashkar-e-Taiba was involved in the 2001 Indian parliament attack and the 2008 Mumbai attacks.
Lashkar-i-Jhanghvi, an offshoot of anti-Shia sectarian group Sipah-i-Sahaba Pakistan, was founded by former SSP activists Riaz Basra, Malik Ishaq, Akram Lahori and Ghulam Rasool Shah.
The US blames this group for committing hundreds of target killings and dozens of mass attacks inside Pakistan.
Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan, an umbrella organisation of various militant groups, was based in Fata, but has now relocated to Afghanistan. The US says that the group wants to enforce its own interpretation of Sharia and plans to unite against Nato-led forces in Afghanistan. It has conducted hundreds of terrorist attacks inside Pakistan.
Other groups on the list are: Harakatul Jihadi-i-Islami, Jamaatul Ahrar, Jamaatud Dawa al-Quran and Tariq Gidar Group, which is one of 13 TTP affiliates. The Tariq Gidar Group has been behind some of the deadliest attacks inside Pakistan, including the Dec 16, 2014, massacre at the Army Public School in Peshawar that left 132 schoolchildren and nine staffers dead.
Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Commander Nazir Group, Indian Mujahideen, Islamic Jihad Union, Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan ISIS-Khorasan, Al Qaeda in the Indian Sub-Continent and the Turkistan Islamic Party Movement are also on the list. (Wow!)

Pak has become a hell hole of terrorists. But they insist there are NO terror sanctuaries in Pak! One can't wake up a moron who's pretending to sleep.
Here's where the terror camps are in POK which the Pakis deny.......
Recruitment and training camps are in Red. Launch pads are marked in yellow.

Pakistan will die a slow death..not physically, but a death of relevance. They know this and realise this, hence the perpetual itch to seek attention by generally becoming a nuisance for the entire world.
However, this will do nothing to impede their descent into anarchy, chaos and all round irrelevance and deservingly so.
