Blasts in Peshawar and Bannu

 Two days ago Qari Hussain’s gave interview to AP’s reporter Rasool Dawar in North Waziristan in which Qari Hussain threatened to use Suicide bombers in case government launches operation.

 We have enough suicide bombers, and they are asking me to let them sacrifice their lives in the name of Islam, but we will send suicide bombers only if the government acts against us,” he said.

 He also claimed that TTP has become more strong and united after death of Baitullah Mahsud.  

“Our movement has gained more strength after the martyrdom of Baitullah Mehsud,” he said. “We are united.”

 It’s very interesting to note that Qari Hussain, Master mind and Father of Suicide bombing in Pakistan gave Interview in North Waziristan, which means he is not in SWA.

 Today, a day after publication of this interview a suicide bomber at about 7:30 in morning, crashed his truck filled with explosives with Maidan Police Station, eight kilometer away from Bannu City between FR Jani Khel and Bannu. According to express news in this attack 6 people died and some 60 people got injured most of them Police men.

 This attack came after September 24th attack on peace committee members coming to Bannu from Sarki Khel. Which  resulted in Clash between Qaumi Lashker with Militants in which 10 militants were killed.

 Another attack today took place in Peshawar. Where militants used timed device in a car using approximately 100 Kg of explosives. The attack took Place at approximately 11:30 AM, resulting in death of 10 innocent civilians and injury of more than 100 people. 2 suspicious people were arrested by police near the impact area and a grenade was recovered which was defused by bomb disposal squad. TTP has claimed the responsibility of Both Attacks.

   Mian Iftikhar Hussain, Provincial Information Minister of Pakhtoonkhwa province while talking to Media today said Pakhtoonkhwa province is in State of war; we have broken the back bone of Militants in Swat, and at present Pakistani forces are hitting militants in Hangu, Dara Adam Khel, Aurak Zai and Waziristan… this attack is act of desperation by terrorists.(Express news).

 Pakistani government has indeed broken Back bone of Taliban. Their leaders are hiding or have gone under ground. Qari Hussain him self gave interview to media after nearly 3 or 4 months.

Pakistani forces with help of local population (in form of Tribal Lashkers) are successfully hitting Taliban in Aurak Zai, Swat, Malakand, South Waziristan agencies etc. The Line of Communication and Supply of TTP is bad shape under continuous attack of PAF, Pakistan Army and Local Lashkers.

 Its matter of common sense to understand the strategy of Taliban. They want to divert the Pressure from their Center of Gravity, which is in SWA by attacking military and civilian targets at different places.

Reports coming out of areas around SWA suggest that tribes and local population is taking up arms against Taliban. Lashkers being formed by locals in Lakki Marwat and Bannu and other bordering Areas against militants.

On other hand PAF bombardment along with economic and communication blockade, is taking tool on Morale of Taliban. This is why in Sheer frustration, Taliban are acting desperately.

According to Sources Misbahuddin Mahsud has assumed leader ship of Abdullah Mahsud group in SWA. Misbahuddin is considered to be the most dangerous enemy of TTP. Reports are also coming that Abdullah Mahsud group and Turkistan Bhitani are working together against TTP.  Misbahuddin Mahsud has also ordered his Bhitani followers to join their tribal leader Turkistan Bhitani.

  According to old URDU proverb

چراغ جب بھجنے لگتا ہے تو ٹمٹماتا ہے۔۔۔

“Oil lamp before dieing down gives lots of Light”

 

 TTP is moving towards its conclusion. It will do every thing to escape its fate. Pakistan is at decisive Point, its duty of International community to stand by it. Pakistan’s war on Terror is episode of Sacrifices made by Pakistani Government and People for world peace. If world fails to appreciate it, then no one will ever stand up for sake of the world peace.
