punjabi_khota Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 http://www.rediff.com/news/2009/feb/28taliban-could-take-over-karachi-says-report.htm Taliban [images] militants have established secret hideouts in Karachi and it 'could take the city hostage at any point', according to the Pakistani police. The Special Branch of police has highlighted the presence of Taliban in Karachi in a report submitted to the Sindh government and the provincial police chief. The Taliban have 'huge caches' of weapons and ammunition, the report said. The report provides details about secret Taliban hideouts and their presence in areas like Sohrab Goth and Quaidabad. Besides living in small motels in these areas, the Taliban are hiding in the hills of Manghopir and Orangi town and in other low-income areas and slums, the Daily Times newspaper quoted the police report as saying. The daily also quoted sources as saying that the deputy chief of the banned Tehrik-e-Taliban, Hasan Mahmood, was hiding in Karachi. The Muttahida Qaumi Movement, which is part of the coalition government in Sindh province, has often warned authorities that the Taliban had established a presence in Karachi. The Daily Times said the Special Branch report had 'terrified' police and security personnel. :yay::yay: (:(((
Cricketics Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 not a reason to be happy punjabi khota. It will be bad for INdia if taliban takes over pakistan or any of it's state. Thats the last thing we want. If they take over pak, the joint forces of taliban and pak would be together try to attack India. Not that they haven't done this before during Mumbai attacks etc, but it gives them more easy route to India. India would be basically calleda neighbouring country to Afghanistan, rathern then just being called neighbours of Pak. it sucks.
h4te Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 so how come Pak still has nuclear weapons? How easy is it to 'block' or 'remove' it when (not if :(() Taliban takes over?

Well, I think it is a LONG SHOT, but if something like that does happen, I would expect US attacks in Karachi too. Something like this happening would mean Pakistan is no longer able to function properly and US interference will definitely increase. That may in long run mean Pakistan being cut down to size, and become yet another US-proxy governed state forever in turmoil. not strong enough to attack India and forever in a civil war.
