kerry visits Pakistan curiosity killed the cat...

[farhanfani]

Drama of 9/11 and after episodes reveals that climax in the story seems nightmare, bcz hero nd villain don’t want to end it yet. Kerry visit of Pakistan once again brought a ray of hope in peoples mind though once again it was other way around, points of concern were silence in drones engines, ouster of USA from Afghanistan nd foremost the beggars bowl. I only will talk abt termination of drone attacks which was very happily said by our honorable guest that it will come to an end very, very soon but shoe was on other foot, bcz when he was going back and his plane was still on runway and didn’t take off a breaking news was coming from white house that drone attacks are not coming to an end till the time alqaeda comes to cmplt end JAW DROPPED. Now who will say that he visited Pakistan no my friends he visited fool paradise where everybody warmly welcome him, he visited one of our renowned institution and their students were so humble, excited, and kind hearted that I think at one point he would have perceive that he might be here to distribute blue passport to them, yes but I m very much happy that our capital police was so in charge that within 2 days of his visit they arrested dozens of suspect personals, those were already roaming in the capital long ago but thanx to Kerry uncle. Plzzz member have a keen concern in this hide and seek game.

Charting the data for US airstrikes in Pakistan, 2004 - 2013

Created by Bill Roggio and Alexander Mayer

Since 2004, the US has been conducting a covert program to target and kill al Qaeda and Taliban commanders based in Pakistan's lawless northwest. The program has targeted top al Qaeda leaders, al Qaeda's external operations network, and Taliban leaders and fighters who threaten both the Afghan and Pakistani states.

The charts below look at the following: 1) the number of US airstrikes inside Pakistan per year; 2) civilian casualties vs. Taliban/al Qaeda casualties; 3) the distribution of strikes over time by tribal agencies; 4) the overall distribution of strikes, by tribal agencies; 5) the distribution of strikes over time by territories targeted; 6) the overall distribution of strikes, by territories targeted; and 7) the number of high value targets killed in territories managed by individual Taliban commanders.

The data is obtained from press reports from the Pakistani press (Daily Times, Dawn, Geo News, The News, and other outlets), as well as wire reports (AFP, Reuters, etc.), as well as reporting from The Long War Journal. Given the Taliban's control of the areas where strikes occur, and a dearth of reporters in those areas, the exact numbers for casualties are difficult to know. The numbers below are estimates based on press reporting.

For more details on the Predator program and its effects, see LWJ report, Analysis: US air campaign in Pakistan heats up. For a list of al Qaeda and Taliban leaders thought to have been killed in the attacks, see LWJ report, Senior al Qaeda and Taliban leaders killed in US airstrikes in Pakistan 2004 - 2011.
