He has been released on the charges of 26/11 only.. Last I checked, Pakistan still has him banned as a terrorist.
checked on what zee news?
suicide attacks of any kind are haram in any situation. This is the consensus view among ulema including the conservative "wahabbi" ulema.
i don't think it would be a good idea to negotiate with TTP.
Then the ulemas should go and tell this clearly to the suicide would be bombers.
I think they are afraid to go near a suicide bomber cause he is wearing a suicide vest.
suicide attacks in Pakistan have no moral ground and are 'illegal'
Well the reality is that most of the extremists actually don't listen to the traditional ulema. That is why many scholars in Pakistan have been targeted whoever spoke out against suicide bombings. In Saudi Arabia itself, a fatwa was released by Bin Baz back in the 80s saying suicide bombings in Palestine is also haram. However, HAMAS and related organisations refused to listen to this. For example, OBL and Zawahiri e.t.c are not Islamic scholars or mullahs even but a businessman and a medical doctor respectively.
Even JuD chief is not an Islamic scholar himself. But its people like him who are hijacking these things andconfusing people. I guess its more upto GoP and other muslim countries to take the initative tospread this directive that suicide attacks are haram irrespective of the circumstances targetted to the muslims primarily.
Suicide attacks in Pakistan 'illegal': JuD chief

Suicide attacks in Pakistan LAHORE: Jamat-ud-Dawa chief Hafiz Saeed, in his first ever on camera interview has said that suicide attacks in Pakistan have no moral ground and are 'illegal'. He also demanded public execution of perpetrators.
He was talking exclusively to Geo News.
He was of the view that some foreign elements were trying to create religious disharmony in the country, adding that Pakistan was being forced to remain a front line state in the war against terror.
Hafiz Saeed blamed India for Data Darbar attacks and challenged India to prove JuD's connection with Mmbai attacks. When US can negotiate with Taliban why not Pakistan, he questioned.
JuD chief pointed out that there was no restriction on his party. 'Outfits involved in militancy should be banned and strict action be taken against them.'
That is good, i wonder what he will say about suicide attacks in Afghanistan? as far as we know, these religious groups in pakistan have always given support to AT.
