Paki Officers Ordered Into Civies To Avoid Attacks
I am not exactly sure what the hell to make of this…
From the Times Online:
Pakistani Army officers have been ordered to avoid wearing uniforms in public and to adopt civilian vehicle number plates as suicide bombers step up their attacks on the military.
A lone bomber killed at least seven people yesterday after blowing himself up a quarter of a mile from President Musharraf’s office in Rawalpindi.General Musharraf, who has survived three assassination attempts, was discussing Pakistan’s internal security with senior government officials when the bomber – on foot – was stopped at a police checkpoint.
It could be the same thing that made the early Iraqi forces wear masks because insurgents were after them and would kill their whole families if caught. The Jihadi’s are driving them underground.
They could be either afraid and running scared or preparing for a little guerilla tactics of their own. Organize the locals like we did in Iraq with the CLC.
Our special forces and air support probably backing them up.
There are several possibilities. It will be interesting to see how this unfolds.
