What is ZiiTrend?
Would Afghan military strike Pakistani locations before Sept 08?

In an unusual move, Afghan president Hamid Karzai threatened to send troops to attack Pakistani locations in the wake of a Taliban attack on an Afghan prison that allowed 2000+ prisoners to escape, many believed to be Taliban troops. Harzai hinted that Taliban receive their training from Pakistan, and if the Pakistani government trains people to strike in our (Afghan) house, then Afghan forces will do the same.

Of course, the current Afghan government is backed by the US government, but the bold comments are still surprising nonetheless.

Do you think Afghan troops would be sent to attack Pakistani locations between now and the end of August?

    Afghan didn't do anything. However, suspected U.S. commandos from Afghanistan killed 20 people, including women and children, in a pre-dawn raid inside Pakistan, officials said, an attack branded as an assault on the nation's sovereignty.

    I don't think there will be a full-scale attack, but would not be surprised if people are sent in to target certain personnel.

    Also interesting is the rumour that George W. Bush has instructed that bin Laden be arrested before his term is over to save his legacy... I think it will be a few interesting months leading to the end of his term.

    Yes, more like an empty threat.
