Fazlullah escapes to Afghanistan

[TaimiKhan]

Perhaps Fazlullah really hasn't escaped and just wants us to believe that, thinking that means the drones and Blackwater hunters will be called off and then he won't have to hide like a trapped animal any more?

Swat has no drone flying over it, nor drone strikes takes place nor has Xe hunters.

Taliban leader 'flees Pakistan'

Maulana Fazlullah commands the loyalty of many militants in Swat
One of the most wanted Taliban leaders in Pakistan has escaped to Afghanistan and is planning new attacks on Pakistani forces, he has told the BBC.

Maulana Fazlullah founded the Swat Taliban to enforce a hardline version of Islamic law.

The government at first accepted his demands, but later accused the militants of reneging on a peace deal and sent troops into the valley.

Maulana Fazlullah was said by officials to have been wounded or killed in July.

Threats

"I have reached Afghanistan safely," Maulana Fazlullah told BBC Urdu.

"We are soon going to launch full-fledged punitive raids against the army in Swat."

The voice was recognisably Maulana Fazlullah's - he has a very distinct way of pronouncing words.

I have spoken to him on several occasions and met him twice.

Maulana Fazlullah was calling from an Afghan number and sounded in good spirits when he called on Monday.

He said that those claiming success for the Swat operation should try to prevent drone attacks and the US security firm Blackwater from operating in Pakistan.

He issued a warning to the North West Frontier Province's information minister Mian Iftikhar Hussain.

"The authorities should beware, especially Mian Iftikhar Hussain, whose fate will be like that of Najibullah," he warned, referring to Dr Najibullah who was Afghan president before the Taliban hanged him in 1996 when they took Kabul.

Talking about US President Barack Obama's Afghan policy, Maulana Fazlullah said there was no need for the US to send in more troops.

"Hundreds of thousands of Pakistani soldiers are already involved in furthering the US agenda in the region," he said.

'Boost for militants'

Maulana Fazlullah has been incommunicado for several months.

During this time a number of reports had circulated about his death or capture by the military.

These had gained credence after Pakistani authorities said he was fatally wounded in the army operation.

The Taliban denied reports that he had been injured or was close to death.

His return is likely to be a morale booster for the increasingly beleaguered Taliban in Pakistan.

But it appears unlikely that his militants will be able to take the fight to the army, so soon after being soundly defeated in Swat.

The Taliban are also on the run in their main stronghold in South Waziristan, where the Pakistani military recently launched a major offensive.

NATO, ISAF and Afghans should be able to find him and hand him over to Pakistan.

If not then the NATO, ISAF and Afghans 'NEED TO DO MORE'

LOST IDENTITY: How Fazalullah escaped to Afghanistan?

 

[S-2]

Mullah F.M. has found sanctuary on Afghan taliban lands in Nuristan and Konar. Soon Pakistanis will understand the full importance of sanctuary to an insurgency.

Pakistanis will also understand exactly the relationship between the afghan taliban and their own miscreant Pakistani sons. Then the choice of Pakistanis will be to accept that there is no difference between these men or, alternatively, accept that their beloved afghan taliban are accepting orders from Indian masters just as the Pakistani taliban already are.

It's a new dawn.

The afghan taliban 'good taliban fantasy' held near and dear by some pakistanis is going to go up in smoke very soon.

The biggest weapon in the TTP arsenal is their AQ-backed suicide bomber network. Who is training the suicide bombers?

Is the master suicide bomber trainer Qari Hussain an Indian agent? If not, then ask yourselves a question: Who are his friends and where does he get his funding and ideological support from?? Who provides the ideology and training methods?

 

[aakalim]

Well the afghan taliban and the pakistani taliban never opposed each other, ... they both have the same ideology and goals. We are made to beleive by the religious parties and some elements in the media that the afghan taliban never approve of the TTPs actions in pakistan.. but the fact is that they never openly opposed the barbaric tactics used by TTP, infact they do the same things in Afghanistan

The ideology that we must achieve our goals and impose our understanding of the religion on other people by force, no matter how many innocent people are killed in the process, is the same in both forms of taliban.

So it is quite natural for them to harbour these terroirists from pakistan, nothing surprising.
