Orders made to Pakistani military to fire against the Americans.

Pakistani military forces were ordered to open fire if the American forces attempt a new invasion at the Afghani borders. During the past two weeks, Americans have already invaded Pakistani territories five times without the permission of the Pakistani government.

A representative of the Pakistani military announced on Tuesday that the country’s Armed Forces have been ordered to open fire in case the American forces wage a new attack at the Afghani borders.

General Athar Abbas stated in the Associated Press that in case it is made clear that American soldiers have crossed the borders and passed on Pakistani soil, the military will have to open fire. “No invasion is ever going to be tolerated," he warned.

In Pakistan, the rage against the American trans-border attacks has been inflated. On September 3rd, Pakistan protested vehemently against Washington’s extremely unusual terrestrial ventures of the American military on the Pakistani region of South Waziristan targeting at attacking extremists’ bases.

South Waziristan is one of the most fundamental regions where Islamist extremists launch attacks in Afghanistan. An American attack from the air ensued against a village around the same region, which resulted in the death of 20 people, among them women and children. The bloody attack caused even greater rage in the Pakistani people, as well as a diplomatic issue.
In total, during the last couple of weeks, five attacks have taken place in Pakistan – the last few months, the American President George Bush approved these military raids against Islamists located in Pakistani soil without previously requesting the government’s approval in Islamabad.

On the latest incident, Sunday at midnight, Pakistani soldiers intercepted the transit of American forces to South Waziristan by shooting in the air. The Americans had landed their helicopters in Afghani soil and subsequently attempted to cross to the Pakistani side.

Amid this tense situation, the newly elected Pakistani president Asif Ali Zardari met with Gordon Brown in light of his private visit in Britain, a country that is right in the middle of the conflict between Islamabad and Washington, since it’s a main USA ally in Afghanistan.

It must be noted that Great Britain has so far avoided condemning the American attacks in Pakistani soil and that because the ongoing violence in Afghanistan renders the military outposts and training camps located in Pakistan even more important targets.

Gordon Brown is expected to invite Asif Ali Zardari to bolster the cooperation with Afghanistan for the rebuttal of extremists and amplify the Pakistani military’s plans against extremists. However, as it is reported by BBC, neither Britain nor Pakistan seem to have a say in setting up the parameters of the American Pentagon’s attacks.
