LOST IDENTITY: Tehrik e Taliban Pakistan’s Media face Arrested
Pakistani forces have captured TTPs Spokes man Molvi Omer in Mohmand. He was arrested yester day with the help and intelligence of tribal Peace committee by the FC. Molvi Omer was an important leader of Tehrik e Taliban Bajor. He was also an important lieutenant of Molvi Faqir Muhammad, Deputy Head of Tehrik e Taliban Pakistan and Head of Tehrik e Taliban Bajor Agency.
According to sources, Molvi Omer was arrested in Mohmand agency yester day evening when he was trying to enter Mohmand agency from Bajor in Khoray Zai district bordering Bajor agency. Sources say he was going to attend Shura meeting in Aurak Zai of Tehrik e Taliban Pakistan and was carrying important massage of Tehrik e Taliban Swat and Bajor.
His Plan was to go to Mohmand agency, from there to Khyber and from Khyber to Aurak Zai. Yesterdays (17 Aug 2009) arrest of Molvi Omer is a big victory of Forces. It is expected the back bone of TTP Bajor will break and also TTP swats link to TTP has severely broken.
In other news Forces captured Baitullah Mehsuds important lieutenant from out skirts of Islamabad. Qari Saifullah, who was injured during a drone strike and was some how able to reach the area for treatment was arrested yesterday.
Qari Saifullah Belongs to South Punjab and was front man hiring Suicide bombers from Poverty stricken south Punjab for TTP.
Interestingly both incidents have happened on 17th August which is death anniversary of Zia ul Haq, who came into power in 1977 and was responsible for making Pakistan; US ally in its jihad against Soviets. It was during this Jihad US and its allies brought Jehadies to Pakistan along with Takfiri Ideology.
Pakistan is suffering due to its policy of fighting American jihad. Now it is proven that Soviets never wanted to intervene in Afghanistan, it was Carter administration which started financing extremism in Afghanistan in 1978 which forced Soviets to intervene.
Then again, due to our alliance with US we lost opportunity of bring peace ,in a News report on CNN ,The Author reported that Soviets wanted to pull their forces out of Afghanistan ,which they offered to Pakistani Officials attending Leonid Brezhnev's Funeral....but US declined this offer .....
History repeats it self and those who dont learn from history are condemned to suffer. Have we learned or not is an open question.

Pakistan Taliban spokesman held
Pakistan's army has arrested a man it believes to be the chief spokesman for the country's Taliban, officials say.
Maulvi Omar was a spokesman for the Tehrik Taliban Pakistan (TTP), one of the main Taliban groups in the country.
He was reportedly picked up in the Mohmand tribal area close to the border with Afghanistan, while travelling in a car with two associates.
Mr Omar is said to have been a key aide of Taliban leader Baitullah Mehsud, thought to have been killed recently.
Pakistani officials say they will produce Mr Omar before journalists later on Tuesday.
"A very, very important militant has been arrested," Maj Fazal Ur Rehman told the AFP news agency.

This should be a slap in the face of all those pseudo experts that keeping saying that the pakistani army has not caught any leaders of the taliban which shows all of their efforts are failures. (take that Asma Jahangir)

I think the captured terrorist was a spokesman for the whole TTP, and that thug Muslim Khan was specifically performing his role for Mulla Radio.
But Muslim khan used to act as if Fall would never come to him. I hope his body gets found somehwere in swat valley in days to come...
Maulvi Omar captured, says Baitullah is dead
ISLAMABAD: Security forces captured Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan’s top spokesman, and he acknowledged the death of the group’s leader in a recent US missile strike, officials said on Tuesday.
‘Everybody knows that Maulvi Omar has been arrested. He was a spokesman for the Taliban,’ said Mian Iftikhar Hussain, information minister for the North West Frontier Province.
‘We will catch them all. All Taliban will have to face the same fate,’ he told AFP, adding that Omar had been moved to the provincial capital Peshawar.
‘Intelligence agencies have given me information that Maulvi Omar has confirmed the death of Baitullah during interrogation,’ he added.
US and Pakistani officials have said they were almost certain that the chief, Baitullah Mehsud, had been killed in the August 5 strike, but at least three Taliban operatives, including the detainee, Maulvi Omar, had called media organisations following the attack to say he was still alive.
Omar’s comments – relayed by an intelligence official who took part in the questioning – would be the first admission by the Taliban that Mehsud was dead.
The spokesman’s capture was the second arrest of a prominent Taliban figure in 24 hours.
As the official spokesman for Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan Omar frequently called journalists to claim responsibility for terrorist attacks in Pakistan.
As well as being the movement’s mouthpiece, Omar was an influential aide to Mehsud and ranking member of the Taliban.
Omar initially operated relatively openly – a reflection of the former government’s reluctance to tackle the group.
Reporters had his home and cell phone numbers. Omar would occasionally summon reporters stationed in Khar, the main city in Bajaur tribal region, for news conferences at his headquarters in nearby Mohmand town.
But after the army began an offensive in April, Omar changed phone numbers frequently. He never appeared in public, but still continued to telephone the media with messages from the Taliban leadership.
He was captured along with two associates in a village in the Mohmand tribal region Monday night while he was travelling in a car to South Waziristan, a Taliban stronghold, said Javed Khan, a local government administrator.
‘Maulvi Omar is in our custody, and he is being questioned,’ Khan told The Associated Press without giving any further details.
Earlier, three intelligence officials said local tribal elders assisted troops in locating Omar in the village of Khawazeo.
Omar’s capture came a day after police arrested militant commander Qair Saifullah, another close Mehsud aide, as he was being treated in a private hospital in Islamabad, the capital.
Saifullah, who is reportedly linked to al-Qaida, told police he had been wounded in an American missile strike in South Waziristan, said two police officials. It was unclear if it was the same strike believed to have killed Mehsud.
Saifullah appeared on Tuesday before a special anti-terrorism court along with Zaid Ikram, an aide arrested along with him. Both were ordered held for four days for investigation, prosecutor Raja Yaseen said, but he would not elaborate on what charges they would face.
The two men were being questioned for possible roles in attacks on US and allied forces in Afghanistan as well as terrorist attacks in Pakistan, said Islamabad police operations chief Tahir Alam Khan.
Saifullah is affiliated to Harkat Jihad-e-Islami, an al-Qaida-linked group that recruits militants to fight foreign forces in Afghanistan, Khan said. Ikram – who is Saifullah’s younger brother – played a major role in a bomb attack on Islamabad’s Marriott hotel in 2004, in which one guard was killed in the parking lot, he said.
