We just love playing with you man, hopefully you took no offence brother.

Please say "Pakistan Zindabad" for me for this news.

I would say behead him from behind like they did to our soldiers few years back, make a video of it and send it to taliban saying " You are Next"

They like to play the fear card, lets give them one.

No. But they should be tried for their crimes. There is no justice in injustice. Let not one day of cooperation allow us to forget the 10 years of torture they've put us through. Let us not forget all the Muslim blood they've spilt and all the families they've condemned to destitution.

The only thing they get for surrendering and laying down their arms is the right to live out the rest of their lives in prison. For those who don't surrender and cooperate, the punishment is death.

[tarrar]

The best thing to do here is, squeeze the info out of him & kill him.

Taliban leader arrested two years after escape, Pakistani intel sources say

By Steve Almasy, CNN
July 16, 2014

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

• 
  
  
  • Adnan Rashid had escaped from prison in 2012
  • He was there serving a sentence for planning an assassination attempt
  • Pakistani Taliban says authorties are wrong; Rashid is still free
  • Rashid also notable for a letter he wrote to Malala Yousafzai after she was shot

(CNN) -- A Pakistani Taliban commander who had escaped in mass prison break two years ago was arrested again last week, Pakistani intelligence sources told CNN on Tuesday.

Adnan Rashid, a prominent Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan commander, was captured Friday, the sources said. He was injured, but authorities were questioning him, one source said. Sources told CNN he was taken into custody in South Waziristan province and had since been moved.

But the Pakistani Taliban told CNN the report was baseless and that Rashid is in a safe area.

Authorities have said Rashid is responsible for several large prison breaks in Pakistan. In 2004, he was sentenced to death for planning an attack on former President Gen. Pervez Musharraf in 2003.

He was incarcerated at Bannu prison in northwest Pakistan and was freed, as were 400 other inmates, when militants stormed the facility in 2012.

Rashid also wrote a controversial letter to Malala Yousafzai, a Pakistani schoolgirl shot in the head on her way home from school in 2012. He told her she was targeted not because she advocated education for girls, but rather for her criticism of the militant group.

In the letter, Rashid said he was writing -- not as a Taliban leader -- to say he was shocked by the shooting, and to express his regret that he did not warn Malala of the attack.

The letter went on to say that the Taliban supports the education of women, as long as it adheres to Islamic law.

The letter drew criticism from people who said the Taliban are known to target female students.

He was reportedly injured in an earlier strike in North Waziristan and was arrested after fleeing the ongoing airstrikes in the region. The army has not yet confirmed the arrest however section of the Pakistani media has reported the arrest.


The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan has now confirmed that Adnan Rashid and said a rival faction has was behind the “conspiracy” of the arrest.


The TTP accused Mullah Nazir group in South Waziristan of passing the information to the security forces which eventually led to arrest of Rashid. The Mullah Nazir group is considered pro-government. The group’s leader Mullah Nazir was killed in a US drone attack last year.


The sources said that Rashid was shifted to an undisclosed location through a helicopter. The TTP has distributed a pamphlet in parts of South Waziristan, saying they would take revenge of the arrest of their leader.

PESHAWAR: In a major breakthrough during the ongoing Zarb-i-Azb military operation, a key Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) commander, Adnan Rashid has been reportedly arrested by Pakistani security forces.

Highly placed sources told Dawn.com on Tuesday that the firebrand Taliban commander was arrested by the forces in Shakai valley of South Waziristan four days ago in injured condition after he tried to escape from North Waziristan’s cordoned off area due to the military operation.

He has been shifted to an undisclosed location by a helicopter.

Adnan Rashid, who was serving a jail term for attacking former president Gen (retd) Pervez Musharraf, had escaped from Bannu Jail on Aril 15, 2012 after an attack by insurgents armed with guns, grenades and rockets. Nearly 400 prisoners including Taliban militants also escaped in the jail break.

Rashid also gained attention by writing a letter to teenage education activist Malala Yousafzai, who was shot in the head by the Taliban in an attempt to kill her. Adnan Rashid had said he wished the attack hadn't happened, but told Malala that she was targeted for speaking ill of the Taliban.

He was enjoying the facility of cellular phone inside the death cells of different jails where he was lodged after being sentenced to death by a field general court martial for his alleged attempt on the life of Gen Musharraf.

The former junior technician of Pakistan Air Force (PAF), Rashid is a resident of Chota Lahore area of Swabi district in Pakistan’s northwestern Khyber Pakhtukhwa province. He is fluent in English, Pashto and Urdu. He used to contribute to several social networking sites including Blogs and Facebook from the prison. He had joined PAF in 1997. He was around 24 when he was arrested in early 2004.

The escaped prisoner was in contact with the world outside the prison through his cellular phone, according to sources. He was also in touch with several journalists and used to send them messages through short message service (SMS).

Prior to his escape from Bannu Jail, Rashid continued to plead his innocence and claimed that his only crime was that he had voted “No” in the referendum held by the then military president Gen Musharraf.

Now we know it was all rubbish !
