Ex-ISI official Col Imam killed

Apparently, Col Sultan wasn't shot, but died of heart attack.


PESHAWAR, Pakistan, Jan 24, 2011 (AFP) - A former Pakistani intelligence officer considered a "godfather" of the Afghan Taliban has died of a heart attack in captivity in the northwest, a senior government official said.

Sultan Amir Tarar, known as "Colonel Imam", was kidnapped by Islamist rebels last March while travelling with another ex-spy and a British journalist in the lawless border district of North Waziristan, a key militants' hideout.

Tariq Hayat, the top administrative official for the tribal areas of Pakistan, said district officials had informed him of Tarar's death.

"I was told by the political administration of North Waziristan that he died from a heart attack," Hayat told AFP.

"He died from a heart attack, but I will say that he was killed by the Taliban because he was a heart patient and if you don't provide medicine to a heart patient you are going to kill him," he said, adding that his body had not been recovered.

Military and intelligence officials could not confirm his death.

Of course these people doesn't know the meanings and worth of a life.

Colonel Imam, a senior figure in Pakistan’s ISI intelligence agency, was credited with training several leaders of the current Taliban-led insurgency to fight the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan in the 1980s.

He was honoured by President George Bush for playing a key role in 'Charlie Wilson’s War’, the Congressman who launched Operation Cyclone, a programme to organise and support the Afghan mujahideen in their resistance to the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan.

He remained a strong supporter of the Taliban-led insurgency against Nato forces after it was ousted in 2001, but was kidnapped in North Waziristan in March last year along with another former ISI spy and a British television journalist.

On Monday night sources close to one Taliban faction in North Waziristan said the group was holding an inquiry to establish which faction had killed him and warned those responsible will be killed.

Pakistani analysts said his murder revealed the weakness of the main Afghan Taliban leadership in North Waziristan and challenged Washington’s claim that the tribal area is a stronghold of Taliban-led insurgents attacking Nato forces in Afghanistan. The United States has said a Pakistan Army offensive against militant ’safe havens’ in North Waziristan is vital to any victory against the Afghan insurgency.
 
:no:

Dude, you're arguing with the wrong guy, believe me, he'll just waste your time..

@ T-Fraz : Can we discuss it sometime later? Is it compulsory to start the same debate again on this thread?

Mr. T seems to be an ardent supporter of ANP :lol: seen too many of his disillusioned qoutes about Jinnah Sahab RA, Iqbal Sahab RA and now Liaqat Sahab RA. He has a highly fragmented sence of the Ideology about Pakistan. :lol:

Well, to each his own, InshaAllah time will show us all very soon WHAT PAKISTAN IS ABOUT!!

Col Imam, a true patriot who has paid his due to his faith and country! In my opinion he is a Shaheed! May Allah raise his stature in Heaven! Ameen

Itvery much clear that TTP is working for anti Pak powers. They must be destroyed. Even US can be there main backers. Pakistan must be alert and ISI must continue its clandestine support of Afghan Taliban which is its main weapon after the neuclear weapons.

Pak security forces and intelligence must work intensively inside the country to uproot the internal spy network of US agents and eliminate there political supporters specially inside ruling party, MQM and other anti Pak political forces. They must take out whatever info they can from Davis using same methods the Americans themselves using in Guantanamo torture cells against so called Al Qaeda members. While Pak Army n Intelligence must continue using Afghan Taliban as there most valuable asset to destroy US in Afghanistan. Insha Allah US will become the third super power to be eliminated by the land of Islam, Afghaninstan.

Dont know what the you are talking about but I do not support some third rate party like ANP, they are just like your mullahs who opposed Pakistan. Just because the likes of you now twist and selectively remember the history of Pakistan, you think its right to name it as some sort of grand Islamic project by Maulana Jinnah and his friends.

And why are you adding RA to their names, they are not religion figures, nor do they claim to be. But its expected from the likes of you. While he was alive, he was Kafir-e-Azam, but after his death he became Maulana Jinnah.

Well, to each his own, InshaAllah time will show us all very soon WHAT PAKISTAN IS ABOUT!!

It will and then you will see, that Zia of yours tried to destroy it and his children are continuing the job but it wont happen, InshaAllah.

What a great patriot indeed, maybe he should have taken the piece of Berlin Wall given to him by his master George Bush Snr which read 'those who cast the first stone' to NW so that the children of the men he trained did not kill him.

Where was Haqqani, Bahadur and other 'Mujahids', why cant they save the man who created them?

I guess they are only good in cowardly acts like suicide bombing, child raping, acid throwing and using normal people as cover in war.

What great mujahideens, truly the great saviors of the world.
 
Allah kee lanat hoh on these bloody TTP per and LeJ and SSP per!

These bloody takfiri, kharijite, sectarian organizations of LeJ, SSP have now come to be known as Punjabi taleban!

May Allah curse them all! These are the MODERN day kharijites whom holy messenger (sawaw) had told us about! They will continue to come into existence til the end of times until Imam Mahdi (A.S.) finally crushes them once and for all!

These bloody guys are hiding in NORTH WAZIRISTAN since South Waziristan is clearly under Pak army's control!
 
Good thing Haki made the video outside. Some forensic analysis of video and from where Col Imam's body was found should give some clues of general location of Haki and his gay bandits.

Haki, don't forget what happened to your butt buddy "Usman Punjabi" after he killed Khalid Khwaja.
 
TTP is not Tehrik e Taliban Pakistan , these people should not be allowed to misuse the good name of Pakistan when these people are in the pockets of enemies of Pakistan and they should be rightly called Terrorist Tribal Pathan

Those who have sympathies for these rats should go and join them so that they can all be shot , gassed, poisoned and burt to ashes in large numbers.
 
First Abduallah Mehsud , then Baitullah Mehsud then Hakimullah Mehsud and Qari Hussain Mehsud add to these (Ghair)Muslim Khan , Fazlulah and count less other goons who are directly responsible for thousands of deaths across Pakistan , who are these people ? I mean , are we blind or what , why cant we call a spade a spade ?
