On june 28th mr bahadur 's men killed at least 23 soldiers in an ambush .
6月28日,巴阿杜的手下在一次伏击打死至少23名士兵。
It will be hard to take out mr mehsud without the compliance of two rival militants , muhammad nazir and gul bahadur , who control access-routes to his fief .
如果不先让穆罕默德纳齐尔和古尔巴阿杜这两股敌对武装分子归顺,军队将很难逮捕马哈苏德。
But pakistan considers mr bahadur to be a " good taliban " , ie , one who has agreed to fight only in afghanistan , not on pakistani soil .
That may explain why mr nazir and mr bahadur seem happy to co-operate . If they believed the army meant to pick them off piecemeal , as it says it will , they would surely maintain their alliance with the mehsud taliban .
