Pakistan Taliban threaten to send Musharraf to 'hell' when he returns​

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan's Taliban have threatened, in a video released on Saturday, to use suicide bombers and snipers to kill former President Pervez Musharraf when he returns home from exile.

In a Taliban video obtained by Reuters, Adnan Rasheed, who took part in a previous attempt to assassinate Musharraf, said:

"The mujahideen of Islam have prepared a special squad to send Musharraf to hell. There are suicide bombers, snipers, a special assault unit and a close combat team."

Musharraf angered the Taliban and other groups by launching a major crackdown on militancy.

Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has threatened to despatch suicide bombers and snipers to assassinate former President Pervez Musharraf when he returns home from exile on Sunday to contest elections.

In a Taliban video obtained by Reuters, Adnan Rasheed, who took part in a previous attempt to assassinate Musharraf, warned: "The mujahideen of Islam have prepared a special squad to send Musharraf to hell. There are suicide bombers, snipers, a special assault unit and a close combat team."

Musharraf angered the Taliban and other groups by joining the U.S. war on terror following the September 11 attacks and by later launching a major crackdown on militancy in Pakistan. He is due to return home on Sunday after nearly four years of self-imposed exile in Dubai and London, in time to take part in parliamentary elections on May 11.

Musharraf is facing various cases against him but his most immediate concern may be the Taliban. "When the jackal s death is near he heads to the town," said Rasheed, who was among 400 prisoners who were broken out of a jail by militants in 2012.

Militants were especially enraged when Musharraf s security forces launched a full-scale attack on Islamabad s sprawling Red Mosque in 2007. The government said 102 people were killed in fighting when the complex was stormed.

"The Pakistani Taliban is fully prepared to deal with this pharoah. If God is willing, we will give this devil what he deserves and give satisfaction to the victims of the Red Mosque," said Taliban spokesman Ehsanullah Ehsan in the video.

MILITANTS TRAINING

In the footage, hooded militants in combat gear clutching AK-47 assault rifles conduct training exercises along hills. Some practice making a roadside bomb, which later explodes. "Pervez Musharraf you see the death squad around me," said a bearded man who appears to be their trainer, in English. "We urge you to surrender yourself to us, otherwise we will hit you from where you will never reckon."

But Musharraf has been far removed from Pakistan's stormy politics and its streets, where demands have been rising for an end to corruption, poverty and crippling power cuts. In Dubai, he lives in a luxurious part of the emirate.

Dunya News: Pakistan:-TTP warns Musharraf ahead of his planned return...

It will be interesting to see what happens when Mush returns to Pakistan. He has already escaped a couple of assassination bids. But this time the terrorists may finally be right on target. And then sadly, another one will bite the dust....

Sink to this level?

 

[Gentelman]

TTP is surely a pack of nonsense people...
They seems more like people who want publicity...
why not Ehsan Ullah himself be a bomber??
why they use teens and illiterate people as suicide bombers??

The Pakistani Taliban vowed to assassinate former President Pervez Musharraf if
he returns to the country as planned Sunday, a
spokesman for the terrorist group said in a video
message online. Tehrik-i-Taliban will send out a "death squad" to
kill him, Ehsanullah Ehsan said Saturday. One of the squad members addressed Musharraf
in English, demanding the former president
surrender himself. After resigning in 2008, Musharraf spent five
years in self-imposed exile in London and Dubai. He plans to fly on a commercial airline into
Karachi on Sunday, then attend a rally that will
include Pakistani expatriates from the United
States, Canada, the United Kingdom and the
United Arab Emirates, he has said in a statement. He plans to lead his political party into Pakistan's
general elections slated for May. In 1999, the then-chief of Pakistan's army
became its president in a bloodless military coup.
He remained in power until resigning in 2008 -- a
period that included the U.S.-led invasion of
neighboring Afghanistan. A few months before he left office, Benazir
Bhutto -- Pakistan's first elected female prime
minister -- was killed in a gun-suicide bomb
attack as she was wrapping up a campaign rally
in Rawalpindi. The attack, two months after she survived an
assassination attempt in Karachi, fueled criticism
that Musharraf had not done enough to protect
Bhutto's life despite numerous threats. The
former military ruler has denied having anything
to do with Bhutto's killing. He's been targeted by Pakistan authorities, who
in August 2012 confiscated his property and
froze his bank account. A politician and a prosecutor have called for
Musharraf's arrest as soon as he sets foot in
Pakistan, according to media reports.

Musharraf the fool! He has some Massianic Complex to try the Savior role. He will fail miserably. Either jailed or killed. His best and only chance comes through some military+MQM support and that too will yield limited gains.GG

Go back to London/UAE.

Musharraf is nothing but a fart mouth.. otherwise a person who was Chief of Staff for more than 10 years need not have fled his own country

Come what may, Musharraf vows to return to Pakistan.

Former president General (retd) Pervez Musharraf on Saturday said he would return to Pakistan tomorrow “at any cost”, DawnNews reported.

Speaking to media representatives at a press conference in Dubai, Musharraf said it was imperative to save Pakistan as the ‘terrorists’ were aiming to destroy it, adding that he was coming to rescue the country. Furthermore, the former president said the international community was aware of the situation in Pakistan which had been a source of humiliation to the nation.

Moreover, Musharraf said he would come back at any cost as he would not be in any danger upon his return to Pakistan and that he was not afraid of extremists.

Now see who is more brave.. Bhutoo or Musharraf

Bhutoo didnt have a clue, got kiled by her own husband.
But mush has dealt with these before, and he's been on the frontline himself. Musharraf is a proven veteran, shame on you

Musharraf is nothing but a fart mouth.. otherwise a person who was Chief of Staff for more than 10 years need not have fled his own country

[graphican]

Musharaf must be given needful protection but he must be brought to court to face trial for killing girls and kids in Lal Masjid. I support no terrorist, not even when he wears a uniform.

She was lured in by the money, she was a corrupt feudal, and TTP wasn't a fraction of what it was back then, and for Karachi in general, it didn't even start it's Khi bussiness
