A senior police official told AFP the video was filmed on June 1, when Taliban besieged a police checkpost in Upper Dir, about six kilometres (four miles) from the border with Afghanistan's Kunar province.

5. Too bad there wasn't one there at that moment.

Those policemen were doomed, but they could have made a Taliban BBQ with those gunmen when they tried to leave.

4. Well...

...the Pakistanis wanted them, now they got them.

It is their pet dog and ultimately their job to shoot the rabid beast.
