My Comment: The same tactics were used by the insurgents in Iraq .... mosques were used as supply depots and safe havens for insurgents. But during the battle of Falujah, videos of U.S. soldiers firing at mosques (that were firing at them) passed a very clear message .... enough was enough. After that battle, reports of mosques being used as insurgent havens quickly disappeared.
Will this happen in Pakistan .... I doubt it. The Pakistani government is not well liked in the region, firing at mosques will only inflamed this sentiment .... a sentiment that I am sure the Taliban are well aware of.
