DAWN UNTIL recent years, Mali had persistently shrugged off the possibility that a small number of extremists could take over the country. Now, after the militants have captured most of the northern region and destroyed several sites of cultural heritage including shrines, mosques and...

Traitors and TTP collaborators need to be shot - period! Unless the military gets serious about culling such traitors from its ranks, we will continue to see episodes like this.

DAWN ON most days, this doesn’t feel like a country at war. And yet that is precisely what it is. Consider just some of the violent incidents of the last few days: a bomb in a marketplace in Peshawar kills innocent civilians. In Bajaur Agency security forces and citizens battle militants who...

Yeah - if by yahoudi you mean salafi.

I don't think so.

Zahid Hussain IT was nauseating to listen to some TV commentators ranting about a foreign hand behind the Kamra airbase attack. Some even found vindication of their insane conspiracy theories in a report in an American newspaper that claimed the base may be involved in Pakistan’s nuclear...

"Following the reopening of Nato supply lines in Pakistan and reports of a planned military operation in North Waziristan, TTP commanders Waliur Rehman and Hakeemullah Mehsud have joined hands to mount an intense retaliation, the circular stated." I love the mind-blowing logic! So these TTP...

Express Tribune Just as Pakistan is preparing to deal with its internal contradictions about tackling the Taliban in North Waziristan, it is losing its security personnel to an enemy it doesn’t know how to identify. The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has released another video that...

For your information, the TTP has attacked US assets on numerous occasions including NATO supply lines. The TTP was also invloved, and admitted as much to its role in the December 2009 suicide attack on CIA facilities in Camp Chapman in Afghanistan. As far as attacks on Indian consulates in...

Agreed - no surrender and fight to kill as many TTP dogs as you can.

The pics are enough to make anyone really angry - who cares about the video.

Pakistani intelligence officials are confirming it now.

Its a feature of the ideology driving these organizations - we see such brutality wherever salafi militant groups operate.

Unfortunately, a segment of pakistanis is simply too brainwashed to figure out that TTP is actually suported by Saudi Salafis and their local stooges like the JI. And they never bother to ask, if the TTP thugs are backed by US/RAW , then why do anti-US and anti-India parties like JUI-S and...

No firm date publicized as yet - hope it comes soon.

Enough is enough. These TTP thugs need to be decimated - the military must show no mercy. Apologists for the TTP including JI need to put behind bars. Any cleric or politican that speaks in favor of TTP should be jailed. Time to put our boots on the throats of these salafi barbarians and their...

Joseph - Perhaps you agree that it would be a bit simplistic to treat this as a regional problem. While we need to clean up our backyard and take out the Salafi-inspired TTP thugs and their supporters in NWA, the war against this pan-regional Salafi militant movement will not be won in Pakistan...

You've hit the nail on the head. The Wahabi/Salafi ideology imported from Saudi in Zia's era, is indeed false Islam. A regressive tribal ideology spawned in the 1800s that continues to masquerade as religion. The military struck a faustian bargain by allowing the infusion of this insidious...

The Army certainly turned a blind eye to this anti-shia dynamic in the 90s for the 'greater good' of the Kashmir and Afghan jihad. That said, Zia (Army Chief as well as President) was directly involved, and used state machinery to aggressively encourage anti shia outfits such as SSP and related...
