Militants attack Pakistan army headquarters

Posted by Fahad Zuberi on 10/10/09 • Categorized as Asia, Terrorism

Pakistan’s army headquarters near Islamabad came under attack by several armed militants on Saturday.

The Associated Press reports that militants were holding up to 15 soldiers hostage inside the army compound. The attack left 10 people dead, including two ranking officers. Military officials said the attackers were surrounded, and efforts were being made to recover the hostages safely.

Twitter users are frustrated and confused at how militants outsmarted the Pakistani army. Some are even calling it Pakistan Army FAIL.
