ISLAMABAD/WASHINGTON, May 8 (Reuters) - A top Chinese-made Pakistani fighter plane shot down at least two Indian military aircraft on Wednesday, two U.S. officials told Reuters, marking a major milestone for Beijing’s advanced fighter jet.

An Indian Air Force spokesperson said he had no comment when asked about the Reuters report.

    Jaish-e-Muhhamad: "Maulana Masood Azhar, a UN-designated terrorist based in Pakistan, has announced that 10 members of his family and four close associates have been killed in India’s strike on the Subhan Allah Mosque in Bahawalpur, Pakistan.

    A statement issued on Wednesday by the militant group he heads - Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) - said that the deceased included his elder sister and her husband, his nephew and his wife, a niece, and five children from his family.

    The group also said that the strike killed three of Azhar’s close aides and the mother of one of them."

    Tell is again Modi himself ordered destruction of a random mosque in Pakistan for no reason.

    Modi is a fascist. He’s a megalomaniac. He is responsible for Gujarat riots. I fucking hate him.

    But that doesn’t mean I’m going to take pity on Pakistan and denounce how my country is responding to their aggression. Fuck Pakistan.

      Yeah, you’re right mate, but he’s talking specifically about the Muridke one. This one too, was evidently a terror base as confirmed by Azhar himself. Though it’s actually quite famous among journalists. Afaik, the one at Sawai Nala, Muzaffarabad was also involved in the 26/11 attack, from what I’ve read. Crazy how these people deny years of evidence collected by their own countries. Like, I’m just a normal person, not the intelligence agency and even I could recognise several camps based on reading foreign academic research on LeT and Pakistan. It’s kind of funny how well known they are, how often these names pop up in books and papers, including actual written propaganda, leaflets and magazines. It’s not some secret that only RAW knows about.

      I argued about the response to the massacre (which, by the way, hasn’t been conclusively linked to Pakistan so there’s no proof of “aggression”) with the other guy so you can just see that. Here I just wanna point out that no matter how accurate or justified the Indian response was, Modi will use this as an opportunity to curtail democracy and consolidate power further. Therefore, cheering on the strikes as “responding to aggression” is playing right into Modi’s hand. If you want to keep what little remains of your democratic rights you have to start pushing back on this now.
