ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - Militants opened fire Monday on a convoy carrying U.S. and Pakistani military officials near the Afghan border, killing one American and a Pakistani soldier, the Pakistani army spokesman said.

Four Americans and four Pakistani soldiers were wounded.

Maj. Gen. Waheed Arshad said unidentified “miscreants” — a word usually used by Pakistani officials to describe Islamic militants — fired at the convoy carrying military officials who attended a meeting in the northwestern town of Teri Mangal.

Now militants have killed soldiers within the borders of Pakistan. It seems that the entire Mid East as a whole is one big Powder Keg with a match burning right next to it. Will the madness ever end? I don't see how it can at this point.

Overall I'd suppose. Shoot let's hope control over this mid-east killing stops reasonably soon, so it does not escalate killing more and more civilians. There or elsewhere. 'Powder Keg'..yes I feel -- big-time.

Yes indeed, a real powder keg, with Nuke possibilities. It's scary in more ways than one. Basic military training shows that you cannot battle a fanatic. Those who WANT to die for their cause are an opponent who cannot be strategized against. The only option is to wipe them out before they get to you. I truly believe that it is only a matter of time, by that I mean sooner than later, before a fanatic looking for 72 virgins gets his hands on a true WMD and unleashes hell on earth in the name of his "god". Unfortunately any war based on religous beliefs is absolutely unwinnable.
