BREAKING : Al-Qaeda alleges retired Pakistani general had militant links, died in 2018

[BL33D]

A magazine published by a regional branch of Al Qaeda said that retired Pakistani General Shahid Aziz-- whose voluntary disappearance in 2016 has been mired in mystery-- had died some years ago in its February edition, while alleging he had close ties with the militant organization.

Aziz, formerly a top general in the country, retired in 2005 after serving with the Pakistan army for 37 years. While Pervez Musharraf was military chief, Aziz was promoted to director general of military operations among other key posts. After his retirement, Aziz authored a book in 2013 that criticized the policies of the former army chief.

When rumors of his disappearance and death began circulating widely in 2018, Aziz’s relatives rejected widespread reports that claimed he had died fighting alongside anti-American forces in Afghanistan or Syria. Aziz’s son denounced the reports in an interview to Voice of America, and said the General lived a ‘very private life’ of religious preaching.

Reports of his death have never been confirmed, with the latest claim by Al-Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent’s (AQIS) Urdu language magazine, ‘Nawa-e-Afghan Jihad,’ (Voice of Afghan Jihad) the most recent in a series of rumored accounts over the last two years.

AQIS was formed by Al-Qaeda chief Ayman Al-Zawahiri in 2014, and aims to fight the governments of Pakistan, India, Afghanistan, Myanmar and Bangladesh. It has attempted to posture itself as a rival group to Daesh in the region, but has met with little success in inciting attacks. Last year, Afghanistan announced it had killed the group’s leader in a joint US-Afghan military raid in Helmand province.

The February edition of the AQIS magazine also claimed Aziz had close ties with members of the militant organization and that the former general wrote a damning, never-before-seen manuscript for a book which was sent to AQIS in 2015, and would be published in the Urdu magazine in the coming months.

Saleem Mehsud, a senior journalist, told Arab News: “For the first time, an organization has stated that Aziz had any sort of contacts with any entity, and now the magazine will publish his alleged articles from his book, which is expected to make startling revelations.”

are we going to take the militant's word over others? no independent sources confirmed this.

AQIS could have picked up on the story after it went viral in the mainstream media. Seeing how it will impact, they came up with the lamest story with no evidence to back that up. They could have shared his photo of standing with the AQ boys to run their false propaganda.....

So to the OP & other forum members, please don't take this up as a fact unless backed by further evidence.

[Zayan]

Once in an interview Musharraf also said this about him

 

[Zhukov]

I remember in an interview Musharraf said something about him fighting and dying is Syria or something when he was asked by the interviewer about the book criticizing Musharraf.

India is going to feel the heat against this. They are on a collusion path.

 

[NA71]

Modi is setting the one way path for India for self disintegration ... even RSS morons demanding Naseer uddin shah to be hanged for his open criticism on Modi's Govt.

1.) Let's believe AQIS --- great strategy. They believe that all apostates/disbelievers - defined exclusively by their own metrics - should also be forcibly converted or killed. So let's also implement that by all non-Muslims killing themselves... since we clearly like to believe AQIS

2.) Let's assume, without any proof, that he did sympathize with 'militants.' Other States, including India, have militants as PMs! What's worse?! The Americans called the Afghan mujahideen 'freedom fighters' who shared a moral footing with their founding fathers!

 

[The Eagle]

Source of so-called AQIS is proven to be propaganda mouth. Members are advised to not to bother to create or share such kind of news otherwise, will be treated under fake news header.

The so-called intellects don't even consider the fact that alleged AQIS was never seen before nor discussed at all but only appears as & when proxy lovers are loosing grip over several strategic offensives.
