Attack Taliban hide outs in Afghanistan if they cannot do it themselves

Something big is cooking apparently. Afghan co-operation is fully needed at this time to hunt down taliban bosses.

If you even know the names you should take pre- emptive actions.

First time ever right initiative at the right time. Give them a clear message, you're with us or against us! Why don't drones come in to action in and eliminate these buthers

If you even know the names you should take preemptive actions.

Respected Mr. COAS, ask Afghanistan and the American forces to find and hand us over the terrorists hiding in Kunar and if they don't comply within a week's time then hunt those barbarians down yourself even if you have to cross the border. These cowards just hit, run and hide and they don't have the guts to face our army. HUNT THEM DOWN!!

It's interesting to see that COAS has gone to Afghanistan and not the political leadership ! This government is totally incompetent. Also, it shows who's incharge.

Our Enemy is common, only names are different TTA/TTP/JUA/Haqqani.

Just inform the Afghan Govt that Pakistan will now carry out surgical strikes inside Afghanistan to wipe out these monsters who killed so many innocent children in Peshawar.

If someone knew or had intellegence of this muderous act a day earlier(be it in Afganistan),why no preventive action was not taken??? Heads should roll! Time has come for Pakistan and the world to stand up and treat these people as public enemy No.1!

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!

all prisioners on death penalty with their children may be hung till death today before Sun set and dead bodies be disposed of by burning or throw in deep sea. good decision taken by PM.

I hope they will corporate for good. Else we would leave with no option then to do it OUR WAY

Yes,..... this is time of action...... condemnations will not work anymore now....

Poor response. Nation is not expecting this. Go after them.

we must find a way to secure our Pak Afghan Border now AT ANY COST

Excellent idea sir of launching a joint operation against these terrorists whose actions have appalled the whole world. I'm sure you will also reach out to India with a similar offer of joint operations to remove this scourge once and for all from South Asia.

i wish and pray that the Afghanis agree ..

Airstrikes in Afghanistan. Period. Precedent has already been set by US. Period.

Sanity must prevail now. Everyone should unite to extricate terrorism. "A joint operation" is the requirement. Otherwise they will keeping hopping across the border.

Our hopes are connected to you Mr. Raheel, wish you success

we want those men behind in afghanistan.dont just go and meet them sir. Ask them one question if you know give them to us. and if you dont know we are coming to get them

pak and afghans are friends of cold and warm weather so that they should help each other out to get rid of this menace. as soon as possible because power ball is shifting towards in this region and we should get advantage of this to give some sort of relief to our people.

@HM Musharaff was going to cover the whole pak afghan build with barbed wires but was stopped. i say put barbed wires ,and fill the border with mines so no sould can dare to crosss

@Anil " reach out to similar offer to India" you forgot to add Kashmir or dawn has edited it.

General is on the case here definitely. He will make his case strongly to Afghan officials.

Afghanistan Afghanistan Afghanistan & Afghanis.... plz spare us...Enough is Enough.

This is a positive approach from Pakistan. I am optimistic that Afghanistan will be in agreement. This should open doors for hot pursuit of all terrorists in the region as Pakistan will have to henceforth agree to joint Indo-Pak operations inside Pakistan.

where are those who were saying terrorists move from Pak to Afghanistan??????? Border should be sealed immediately. Pakistan helped a lot to Afghanistan and Afghanis but they always remain our enemies. why US is leaving Afghanistan and forced this war on us??? DRONE attacks are needed in Afghanistan not in Pakistan.

strong and bold decision is expected frm COAS & PM. go ahead. its now or never.

COAS has emerged as a livewire since he took over his responsibilities. Pakistan is quite capable of doing Abbottabad type operation in afghan premises to kill TTP leadership in case Afghan government does not support us as they did in the past.

GO and Kill these animals

Believe it or not I have seen many of my friends here in India crying while watching the Peshawar incident on TV. India has been truly shaken after the Mumbai attacks. There is a seething underlying anger. Let us forget our strategic games and work together I dont think both the nations will have the strength to bear another Peshawar incident.

My son has lost some of his friends of his childhood on this blackest December 16 and since last night i.e. Dec 16, 2014, he has stopped taking his meals and he is not talking to even his mother whom he loved so much. Now we can imagine of children who have lost their real brothers and its psychological effects of this incident on their minds-well I am sure these living kids must be dead living beings on the earth right now. Afghanistan must be conveyed with a strong message of Pakistan following the Hot Pursuit Policy hence forthwith. I want to see my son smiling again and he shall smile again, if the perpetrators of this incidents are punished may they be anywhere in this World.

There is no reason Afghanistan would not help. It's in their interests too. And I hope Pakistan understood there is only one Taliban and there is no Afghan Taliban and Pakistan Taliban.. If Pakistan is still seeking so called strategic depth through Haqqani and Taliban then Afghanistan has no obligation..

My youngest son has lost some of his friends of his childhood on this blackest December 16 and since last night i.e. Dec 16, 2014, he has stopped taking his meals and he is not talking to even his mother whom he loved so much. Now we can imagine of children who have lost their real brothers and its psychological effects of this incident on their minds-well I am sure these living kids must be dead living beings on the earth right now. Afghanistan must be conveyed with a strong message of Pakistan following the Hot Pursuit Policy hence forthwith. I want to see my son smiling again and he shall smile again, if the perpetrators of this incidents are punished may they be anywhere in this World.

Our enemy sitting in Afghanistan , all planning held their in Afghanistan, Army Chief must go there, and say to Afghan Govt. finished all Indian councilates which behind all terrorist activities in Pakistan

Very good initiative by COAS, but to my understanding Afghanistan will not agree for joint action as they are backed by India. let us hope better.

If the information gathered regarding Peshawar carnage are correct Kabul is required to cooperate with Islamabad and hand over the wanted militant leader who are responsible for resorting deadly militancy in Pakistan killing scores of people. This will be test for the Afghanistan and his new President to have a cordial ties between Pakistan and Afghanistan to eradicate militancy from the region

Now or never scenario for Pakistan. Enough is enough, a decisive action is immediately needed against taliban and their supporters hiding in Afghanistan.

Coward Tahreek e Taliban, being supported by Afghanistan and backed by india. We Pakistanis are in the sandwich of two brutal enemies on both sides. This is the time, our intelligence, government and media should be courageous enough to declare this fact to the world about Ajit Kumar. But wait, we will not....we dont have courage to call our enemy with its name... coward nation.

Seal the border with Afghanistan and if Afghan forces cant hit the taliban in their area, we should. Joint operation along the border areas is a good option. This is probably the most brutal attack in the history of taliban and alqaeda. It should not go unanswered. Make them pay for what they did to our children.

Pak Army Zanda Bad

I could not sleep well today as the horrific images of those innocent children killed in terrorist attack kept haunting my mind. My thoughts and prayers to all the bereaved families out there. Terrorism knows no boundary. Let's make a resolve and work together to make South Asia free from all forms and manifestations of terrorism. We can not bear yet another Peshawar attack. We are with you General Raheel and all Pakistani friends in this fight against terrorism !

Pakistan army should launch an operation agaisnt those terorists inside afghan land; we can not permit them to attack from insde the afghanistan, Pak army should take stern action

Love to Genearl Raheel Shareef for struggling for Country. I love my Army and I love my General.

We are with you Gen. Sharif !! No mercy now

@Anil good sentiments, but Pakistan cannot help India in Chattisgarg, which is in the east of India. But I am sure India will reach out to Pakistan to give names of Baloch , who are being trained in criminal activities and where and who are the handlers. We hope India will sit with Pakistan to resolve Kashmir sincerely.

@Muhammad Shoaib yes they should be punished. But for that you need cooperation of other counties like Afghanistan and NATO. After Bombay attack, India was in the same situation. The world knows how much cooperation Pakistan provided. Please understand that these helps are two way streets.

Pakistanis need to introspect as to how their country reached this point. Please remove the blinkers and do an honest analysis. Every body in Pakistan knows the answer. If they still don't know, then nothing good will come out of this tragedy.

Make surgical, tactical strikes inside Afghanistan by Pak Airforce and Commandos to safeguard Pakistan's safety.

Pakistan Army must take Afghans in confidence and jointly action to reach out all hiding there, if Afghan government doesn't agree, lets do it ourselves until every single of TTp is killed or hanged. Border need to be sealed we shouldn't care if it affects some families they may choose a legal route. But saving our country from this barbarism is a bigger objective.... Kill Fazllullah, kill Narray and their sponsors, facilitators everyone in the chain.. Go Army Go!!! Action is mandatory or people of Pakistan need to take on war in own hands....

COAS has emerged as a DOER since he took over his responsibilities. Pakistan is quite capable of doing Abbottabad type operation in afghan premises to kill TTP leadership in case Afghan government does not support us as they always did in the past.

Where is the Foreign minister? Is this the Generals job? Army must concentrate on security.

Launch chemical and nuclear weapons against terrorists.enough is enough.the prime minister and kpk government should resign

Hope general sharif will approach India as well to wipe out non-state actors along Indo-Pak border.

Take out the Indian consulates in Afghanistan.

dont go to kabul, get them where ever they are!!!! GET THEM

please get them for the sake of fallen angels, IT IS A DUTY ON THIS NATION TO AVENGE THEIR BLOOD!!!!!

I demand a swift and all out action against responsible till they eliminated from this earth !

Time to show the world the resolve of Pakistan !

NEVER LET THIS GO WITH OUT END ! Pakistan paendabad !

Gen. Raheel sb. no mercy on those perpetrators, not revenge but teach them a lesson for their life time.

Whole nation is with you Gen Raheel. Go and get them dead or alive. And please do ensure that Indian terror infra in Afghanistan is wiped out as well when our forces move into Afghanistan.

The afghans should understand that we want a stable afghanistan.They ought to stop the funneling of funds to anti-pakistan militias

@Dr. Abdul Manan man he not ur general he doesnt need ur vote to be general

@Sam from Mumbai the people of India are truly touched and expressed more sorry than the Arab leadership which is completely dismissive and indifferent you dont have to prove much respect to Indian public and specially Indian children. be safe and happy

@Muhammad Shoaib inshallah. he will/ we all will smile again

@orion Please add few more JuD, LeT too to the list. Pak establishment must realise that there is no good or bad terrorist in this, we need only dead terrorists and Pak establishment must put and end to it

I hope our Afghan leaders are smart enough to not agree a one way agreement with Pakistan. If Pakistan wants to have hot pursuit rights in Afghanistan, I think Afghanistan should be able to have the same right to eliminate the terrorist hiding in Pakistan.

Afghans are suffering for decades because of strategic depth policy of Pakistan and even now on daily basis people are dying. In the past 13 years Pakistan has played double game and deceived the Afghans and International community. They have only targeted those terror outfits, which were of no use for them. Even till recently Pakistan regarded Haqqani's as an asset.

Afghan leaders should wait and see what Pakistan does through their actions and no longer should believe them on their word, like the past 13 years. Only then they should cooperate and fight a joint war against the terror.

Just ask for volunteers to go and fight TTP. You will not have enough bullets to distribute.

If the masterminds are hiding in Afghanistan then forget about asking gov for extraditing just go in and kill them using drones or F16 etc.

Finally the General taking the right steps...something which the army should have done years ago. Take the initiative to the terrorists across the border.

@GolGappewala -it will if they resolve Kashmir issue

Afgan should give the terrorist mastermind to pak because he is not a friend of afgan people.take a right decision

What about those who were responsible for Mumbai attacks in 2008 and are roaming freely in Pakistan? Can Pakistan also handover them?

@Muhammad Shoaib , our prayers too with you guys, hope your son and all other kids who witnessed this horrific incident will come out of the shock ASAP. i wish atleast now the pakistani govt and army will take strong action against the terrorist groups inside and outside their homeland. Also the army would stop using and supporting the proxy groups for fighting against India. "Lets have a peaceful life" for that we need to eradicate terrorism from this world (in the name of whatever it may be) and start giving more value for the human beings other than fighting each other in the name of caste, creed, religion and colour. If there is no peace then what is the meaning of life.

There should be no mercy shown, no human rights observed when dealing with the filth of TTP/JUD/SSP or the like organizations. There should be no trials and no amnesty for these cowards. This should be an all our war with every means possible. If it is not done now then it will never be done. I am still failing to understand that how could someone do this to children?

@Dr Qureshi seems you are still on the path this is the time to combine do not see who will go or not eventually this decision is domain of army not civilian why not u combine ,why still looking for who is in charge ,things matter do right ,no matter who ever in charge. please leave this thinking out .

@Dr Qureshi : You are right. There is just no government. There is no one in-charge. The PM is away most of the time on junkets, signing worthless MOUs. We do not have a foreign minister. Most ministers are just talkers. There is no vision. No hard work. No integrity. No credibility. Ad-hoc decisions. No planning.

Please do not let them go unhurt, let the world see how we avenge our loved ones. Army chief / Sharif's, KPK government , government of Pakistan this is on you. Don't let us down again and again.

Well, we have been feeding these snakes for a long time, using them as a foreign policy tool. Now we are reaping what we had sown. What if the Afghan government seeks the extradition of Mullah Omar and the Haqqani's who are blowing up schools and bridges in Afghanistan on daily basis? Would we excuse to their request saying that we can't hand them over because they are our assets or will we cooperate with each other and eliminate the source of scourge?

The attack is dastardly. Journalists of India and Pakistan should come together to eliminate the scrounge of terrorism of all hues from the sub-continent.

What if they ask us for handing over Mullah umar and Mullah baradar in return?

@Taimur I only hope Fazullalh is not living in pak.

@Pakhtoon Great posting.admire your thoughts.

no cooperation, just an air strike is needed right now.

Why they Tweet; they just go and grab them before they wakeup for next morning

@orion Can you add LeT, HuM? or they are any different?

Go and get them. hot pursuit.

So why have we not done this before. Were the lives of non-army Pakistanis not the same ... !!!

Now or Never

@Zak

Nobody in his/her sane mind would ever blame Pakistan for every problem in India. You may relax.

Now, Pakistan demands Afghanistan to extradite Fazlullah but just think how much Pakistan helped India after Mumbai attacks, which took 166 lives and destroyed many families as the sole bread winners were killed. Remember, those Mumbai terrorists killed pregnant wife and wanted to kill the toddler son of the Jewish Rabbi.

This horrific tragedy should induce the government and the army to abandon the ill-advised policy of 'Strategic Depth' and adopt a different tack for reducing Indian influence in Afghanistan and improving relations with that country. Stop shielding Afghan Taliban who are using Pakistan as a base to launch attacks against Afghanistan and NATO forces; there are no good and bad Taliban, as the PM has proclaimed. They are all savages. In return demand the same from Afghanistan, i.e. action against the TTP commanders holed up there. Resort to terrorism is never a solution to any problem and must be fought by every government.

When is Pakistan handing over Haqqanis, Mullah Omar and co to Afghanistan?

The only way to get rid of them and this terrorist Ideology is to close all the MADRASAS.And tell Saudi Government to stop financing any institution in Pakistan without permission of Pakistani Government.

@Bashir Hold on , Afghanistan is not territory of Pakistan. India is capable of secure his consulate in Afghanistan . So don't worry about this fact that Pakistan will be anything and India will be only viewers. If Pakistan can start surgical strike in Afghanistan for destroy terrorist then india will have right to enter Pakistani territory and destroy militant camp of JUD and other terrorist organization.

Decisive Action now. No more talks & discussions.

@orion and LeT, JuD, hafiz sayeed, etc, etc.

Good move ....... now hand over Saeed and Dawood to India. They are wanted there for similar crimes.

@Zak beggars cant be choosers can they?

Funny as Afghans demands are similar to Pakistan.

We are with you General.

Now is the time for the two governments and the people of Afghanistan and Pakistan to forget about the past and join hands as Muslim brothers and sisters in our common fight to eradicate terrorism from our lands so that we can resume developing our education systems and economies.

Kill them wherever you find them, anything, hang them in public. Tell India to STOP supporting and bring India's support for TTP to world media. THIS ENDS NOW!!!!

Pakistan tum aage baro hum tumhare saath hain.... Best wishes from India.

@Taimur

"Attack Taliban hide outs in Afghanistan if they cannot do it themselves"

And allow Afghanistan to do the same to Mullah Omar and his hired killers.

And allow Iran to do the same to Jundullah and ASWJ.

And allow India to do the same to LeT.

Wish he is caught alive and punished so severely that people with his deceased mentality can never ever dare to think of terrorizing any in their life time.

@NORI you need to remember, accusations do not make proof. The proof has to be such that the both parties are convinced. In the Bombay case, India did not allow Pakistan to interrogate the perpetrator and the evidence produced was here say, not irrefutable evidence. In Pakistans case, the Afghan intelligence, military and the president were convinced without doubt.

well done Gen Raheel May Allah bless you you

@NORI : Well said!

I read about COAS, General Raheel and I have full faith in his execution. Bring the might of your forces and get rid of those savages. nothing can justify their barbaric deeds.

if they do not hand over, you know they are not sincere in there resolve. in that case, surgical strikes in Afghanistan by PAF. we have had enough of this.

Hunt these animals to the ends of the earth if need be. If that means that we have to go inside Afghanistan then so be it. The gloves are off now.

give us Falullah and get a lasting peace for everyone ... ELSE, you know whats coming.

We are expecting cooperation from Afghanistan. We should not go for Surgical strike into Afghanistan. We should respect their integrity and sovereignty.

This is what the enemy is creating.....a war between pakistan and afghanistan , which will lead into an invasion by ISIL

@Muhammad Shoaib

I am so sorry to hear this although I am very happy your son is safe. Keep up the faith. I hope your son will are very. Treat him kindly.

@Saad Z .........its called ' create war between these two countries.,and weaken pakistan and takeover the nuclear facilities.

A much better government is in place in Afghanistan. Together, we can root out this cancer of terrorism.

Pakistan COAS should have told the Afghans and the USA in Afghanistan that after the killing of over 100 children either you are with us or against us. And if you are gainst us then we will bomb Afghanistan to stone age

We Afghans are deeply saddened by this heinous martyrs of these innocent souls. Please DO NOT forget that these terrorists are killing our innocent people everyday too. We need equal, honest and serious action against Haqanis and other Pakistani Taliban on Pakistani side too with out any discrimination. We have been shouting this to Pakistan everyday now that Pakistan is in Afghanistan's shoes you feel. Let's join hands against these invaders and make the region safe.

This should be tipping point for Pakistan's policies else the sacrifice of the innocent kids will go in vain. Take religion out of politics. Hunt these Barbarians down and eliminate them

Good Decision. Whole Pakistan Afghan region should be cleared from weapons. Civilians having weapons either should be killed or arrested.

NO OTHER CHOICE!!!

Please remove all terrorist from land of Pakistan . There are various of wanted terrorist in Pakistan whose are involving terrorism in all over world. Haqqani network and some others terrorist are demonstrated by Afghanistan government. So you can exchange these terrorist with each other.

Afghan border security force must be raised now from scratch and should not be locals of the area.

Border must be heavily land-mined, leaving only the official crossing points open.

If the Afghan government doesn't support us now, we must cancel the Afghan Transit Trade Agreement and totally seal the border. Post snipers with orders to shoot to kill.

Enough is enough.

The Mis·Chief·Vous Mullah Fazalullah should be eliminated immediately, by the Pakistan armed forces. It is now imperative and high time we used drones to crush the TTP criminal. Pakistan has the capability to use drones and can if necessary, take the help of CHINA. Even USA will readily help us, as soon as the Afghan President gives the Green Signal which is a must.

@Haroon First develop the kick then only kick. When your army is funded by the US how do you expect them to react in national interest. They attack you with drones. They track down their enemies within reach of a military academy and deal it without impunity. What capacity truly have you developed? An army is made from good Captains not loyal lieutenants.

@The Afghan Did not we launched an operation in waziristan? You guys should stop wining now. We were trying to talk to them which would have been an easier solution but we had no luck. But atleast we are doing something. What has afghanistan done?

Add one more group " corrupt politicians who give in to outside pressures to save their ill gotten money stashed in foreign banks

Why so many indians here??? Go read india today.

If Pakistan want's to get serious regarding these militant, you need to put a stop to these so call school. That are producing these militants

Good step. Ask the Afghan President and NATO forces to handle this case or Pakistan might be forced to go inside Afghanistan.

Understand that Pakistan does not want to step into Afghan's sovereign land but the precedent has already been set by world powers.

@Taimur wow!

Great army general Pakistan ever have

What is the use of getting Mullah Fazlullah from Afghanistan. Some judge in your country will let him go just like the Lashkar-i-Jhangvi Operations Chief.

@Dr Qureshi Not just the government but the judiciary as well. The COAS should not hand over them to the courts.

@khanman Only if we had the leadership capable of taking such actions.

@FromDownUnder Stupidity at its best !!

While we are all keen on taking action in Afghanistan, lets not forget that there are plenty of militant targets in Pakistan to take action against .... e.g. Lal Masjid, the Quetta Shura, etc. As is usual, we are looking to fix others, but we should start by fixing our own issues! I'm amazed that no on these posts seems to consider this an issue ....

We need to blow up Fazullah's hideout by carpet bombing that area in Kunar and Nooristan.

@Muhammad Shoaib InshaAllah those monsters will be punished here and in the World Hereafter! By Allah Almighty
