Irfan Bhai what you say or think about kamalu group? And last few elections are held under control by Army/Rangers/Police did we see any force of Bandooq to vote for MQM?
My take on your question is that as our special agencies busy in doing politics the militants or out fit banned groups re grouped!!
"
KARACHI (Dunya News) – Two arrested Tehrik-i-Taliban (TTP) operatives on Thursday have revealed during interrogation that the banned outfit has formed a new network to collect extortion money after Operation Zarb-e-Azb broke its back.
The TTP operatives were apprehended earlier from Defense area.
The two militants said that Pakistan Army’s large-scale operation has broken TTP’s back financially. Akhtar and Akbar said that desperate banned outfit has formed a new network to support its ill motives.
A group comprising of six persons receive extortion money from industrialists. The group is governed by a commander in Waziristan, they added.
Law enforcers have been told that terrorists have taken up residence in SITE area. In case people refuse to comply with extortion, they get a threat call from Wana. The arrested terrorists said that operatives who were supposed to rob banks have either been caught or killed in police encounters."
