Video reveals Haqqani Network's terror activities in Pak safe havens
Aug 3, 1:15 pm
Washington, Aug.3 (ANI): A video has surfaced, revealing the terrorist activities of the
Haqqani Network, which according to U.S. officials, not only enjoys a safe haven in Pakistan, but is also actually supported by Pakistani intelligence
.The video opened with terrorists analysing a scale model of an American base just across the border in Afghanistan, which was used, along with a satellite photo taken off the Internet, to plan a spectacular attack, reports CBS News.The actual attack, which was later executed, was led by the driver of a truck loaded with an estimated 2,000 pounds of homemade explosives, which was covered only by a tarpaulin sheet.The video further showed the driver detonating the bomb, which set off a tremendous fireball, followed by a blast wave that rippled across the base.The whole sequence was recorded from three different camera angles for maximum propaganda value.The video then showed a van carrying a 10-man suicide squad, whose plan was to charge through a hole blown out by the truck bomb. But the attack stalled because the bomb failed to breach a second barrier, according to a U.S. official. The video does not show it, but all 10 men were gunned down. Photos of the aftermath showed the base mess hall collapsed by the blast wave. Two Americans were killed and 25 wounded seriously enough to require evacuation.The size of the fireball and the resulting blast wave shown in the video are dramatic proof of the threat posed by the safe havens in Pakistan.
