Remember last post when i said "I became popular a little to quickly but more on that later"
Well now is time for that story, the last time i was in the Khyber pass we were on a manhunt for a warlord who was not part of the Khyber warlords (In the pass, different areas are controlled by the big warlords, and they work together on a board, but not quite as formal) Now he was hiding out somewhere in the town and we didn't know, he had men we knew this, and they were well armed with RPG-7 Rocket launchers and warheads, Kalashnikov rifles, and Home made explosive devices, Makeshift grenades IED's, and worst of all were these propane tanks that were actually full of Acetylene (Which can be highly explosive, a little bit inside of a weak balloon can blow the hood off a car, imagine what a Metal propane tank filled with this stuff could do if set off)
Now, A couple of Americans and a French guy don't exactly hide well in places like the Khyber pass. especially not when they have nice guns and gear, now we didn't go in with uniforms, but those little urchin know brands, and when you're expensive plate carrier that PMC's use gets flashed in front of these little urchins, they'll be sure to share this information with the locals. for a price of course.
Now we were in town for about 3 days trying to find out about this guy, and we finally got a tip off that he's not actually in town, but rather hiding outside town at a police checkpoint which is more like a ramshackle military base of about 4 buildings, and a nice tower looking over the whole thing. He had several informants in town relaying information through messanger-urchin (its like a carrier pigeon, but instead of flight it bums rides off passing trucks and begs constantly and never shuts up and sometimes takes pot shots at you with rifles) Now you may ask yourself "Wait police? why would the police help him if he's a wanted criminal?" Never trust third world police ever, especially not secret police, those are the worst kind. Now the problem with him hiding behind the secret police is the fact that even though they are corrupt, we cant exactly kill a bunch of Pakistani police officers even if they are protecting a known warlord. Now what we did, was flush him out the fun way, we used a Milkor MGL loaded with smoke grenades launched about 200 yards into a window, they flushed him out and with the help of Remington 700 28'' heavy fluted barrel in .338 Lapua He was down for the count.
Until next time Warriors.
