I say lets give Nawaz Sharif a chance to go after these thugs. If he doesn't, we'll know he has sold out to LeJ's Saudi masters. And then we'll just have to hope the military(having woken up from its slumber) takes matters into its own hands.

A few facts for your benefit. Salafi -inspired is where the problem lies. Most of the so called deobandi groups like LeJ are funded by Saudi. It doesn't matter what branch you belong to. The Salafi doctrine as a whole is anti shia and vilifies any sect that does not conform to the Salafi...

You hit the nail on the head. There can no talks with these thugs who don't think twice before murdering college girls, nurses, policemen, doctors and civil servants. We are in a state of war with Salafi-inspired LeJ and their TTP brothers in arms. You are also right to point out their links to...

QUETTA: Intelligence officials revealed today that a female suicide bomber carried out the first attack on a bus carrying students of Sardar Bahadur Khan Women’s University earlier on Saturday. At least 25 people, including the deputy commissioner of Quetta, 14 students of a women’s...

I'm just wondering how the father, the retired colonel is roaming around freely having been convicted of links with Al Qaida in 2003. Apparently, he is the one who told the hospital his son was shot by robbers.

DAWN ISLAMABAD: Islamabad police have arrested an alleged al Qaeda activist involved in the killing of Chaudhry Zulfiqar, prosecutor in Benazir Bhutto murder case, who was killed in Islamabad last month when was on his way to attend the court proceedings of the case. Highly placed sources in...

Express Tribune BERLIN: A new German intelligence report presented on Tuesday showed that Egypt had replaced Waziristan as the main centre for the training of militants. German intelligence voiced concern over the growing number of ultra-conservative Islamic extremists in the country, some of...

Does the military top brass have any plans to take down Salafi-inspired militant groups beyond the TTP? Until the entire militant infrastructure is dismantled, we will always have militant groups challenging the writ of the state. Somebody needs to sit the Generals down and basically, say:"...

Great point. Wahabis and Salafis are the same sect from Najd - they just don't like being callled Wahabi. These scumbags were spawned as a cult in the 1700s and their deviant ideology really came to the foreground in the 1900s thanks to the patronage from the Saud tribe. They have a history...

Imran Khan and his KP government fantasizing about negotiating peace with TTP over a cup of tea just got a wake up call. Welcome to the real world Mr. Khan! Time to stop being naive, and deal with the TTP with an iron fist.

Well said. These Salafi-inspired thugs in the TTP are only interested in grabbing power through murder and mayhem. Negotiating with these scumbags is not an option as there is nothing that can be negotiated by the state short of surrendering to these criminals. The TTP offers talks and yet...

Express Tribune Jan 2013 With their hands tied together, 21 abducted off-duty Levies personnel were lined up in a cricket ground near Peshawar on December 30, 2012, and then summarily executed. Negotiations conducted through village elders with TTP militants had failed after the militants...

Excellent explanation - the description fits the TTP and other Salafi militant groups quite well. Like the Kharijites, the Salafis also strong believe in the notion of Takfir.

Another description for the enemy would be Salafi - the Kharjites all those centuries ago originated from the same region - strangely appropriate coincidence.

The Saudis woke up in 2003 when they started getting attacked by the monster they helped create and fund over three decades. Not too different of a scenario from what happened to the Pakistani state. However, this has not stopped Salafi estbalishment from funding Salafi jihxdi movements all over...

Don't talk rubbish. The TTP and its affliated groups killed thousands of tribal elders in KP starting in 2003 and never represented the tribals. If they had popular support, they would run in the KP elections to gain power, and not try to sabotage it through bombs. The Pakistani state could...

The Salafi establishment in Saudi is backing and funding the TTP. Just like we've had non-state actors working as part of the Jihxd Inc. project , there are non-state directors in Saudi backing the TTP. Their goal is to set up a Salafi Emirate in Pakistan. Of course, the fact that Imran Khan...

Whats the latest situation? Any updates??

A lack of planning is inexcusable. We have lost a good 30-40 soldiers because of this. What the hell is wrong with our military top brass? Why can't they get figure out a way to strike at the opportune time? I don't understand where was the army when their proxy AI was fighting LI/TTP combine...

DAWN RATHER than increasing confidence, the report on Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Fata presented to the Supreme Court on Tuesday on behalf of Inter-Services Intelligence and Military Intelligence gives cause for greater concern. In January, the attorney general had conceded that some 700 suspected...
