Pakistani Soldiers Freed

There is to be more than 120 Pakistani soldiers released after tribal elders step in, an official said. They were seized by the Islamic military near the Afghan border. One of the military leader said that almost 300 soldiers were being held but this could no be confirmed. They had not decided to release them yet. They were traveling in a convoy that was defending the security trucks for food. When they had to stop they were captured by militant.
This occurrence happened two days after militants freed a Pakistani government official and 18 soldiers who had been captured earlier.
During the capture of the soldiers, no hostility occurred between them. An official of the associated press said, “The misunderstanding has been removed. The missing soldiers have been traced and they are safe, and would return to their base soon."
A pro-Taliban military head reported that more men where captured than officials reported. This militant refused to disclose his identity and confirmed that the elders had stepped in. He said, “We have taken no decision to free the soldiers.” A Pakistani military checkpoint was being attacked when this was happening which killed two men and injured six. As they were being transported to the hospital, a bomb went off near an ambulance that was transporting the men.
Pakistan is a on of the US’ alley’s in the war on terror. More and more violence has occurred against Pakistan from Islamic attacks. Causing increased pressure on President Gen. Pervez Musharraf to crack down more on militants near the border. Where al-Qaeda may be regrouping.
I feel as if these attacks will continue to occur if these wars aren’t resolved and terrorism is not taken care of. Terrorism is a major concern and if we don’t do something about it then countries are going to continue to fight amongst themselves. War and strive will continue to occur as long this unresolved issues between countries are not taken care of.
