PESHAWAR: Pakistan said Friday it arrested the current chief spokesman of the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan, formerly a commander and spokesman of the Swat Taliban, capturing the first most-wanted ring leaders behind a devastating two-year insurgency.

The northwest valley slipped out of government control after Mullah Fazlullah rose up in July 2007, commanding thousands of followers who beheaded opponents, burnt schools and fought to enforce Islamic law.

Pakistan launched a blistering offensive against the Taliban in the district after militants marched out of the former tourist district, advancing further south towards the capital Islamabad in April and now claims the area is clear.

The country posted a reward of 50 million rupees (more than 600,000 dollars) for Fazlullah and offered rewards for 15 of his top lieutenants, last May but Friday marked the first announcement of any arrests from the list.

‘Muslim Khan and Mahmood Khan with head money of 10 million rupees (120,482 US dollars) have been arrested by security forces in a successful operation in Swat,’ military spokesman Athar Abbas said in a statement.

Muslim Khan was second on the most-wanted list behind Fazlullah. He earned notoriety as the hardline Taliban spokesman in Swat but was largely impossible to reach after the military launched its summer ground and air assault.

Mahmood Khan was number four on the most-wanted list, described as commander of Kuza Banda in northern Swat and, like the spokesman, had a 10-million-rupee price on his head.

‘Along with them, three other terrorist leaders Fazle Ghaffar, Abdul Rehman and Sartaj have been also been apprehended,’ the military statement said. There was no known bounty money for the three.

Pakistan concentrated its military operation in Swat and neighbouring districts Buner and Lower Dir after Taliban gunmen advanced to within 100 kilometres of Islamabad last April in defiance of a peace deal.

The offensive forced 1.9 million civilians from their homes, creating a humanitarian crisis for impoverished Pakistan as they sheltered with relatives and crowded into refugee camps.

The United Nations said this week that 1.65 million Pakistanis have since returned home. The government has sponsored the displaced to return to areas commanders say are now safe.

But skirmishes continue, raising fears that the Taliban are regrouping in the mountains, a tactic militants adopted after previous offensives.

Fourteen police cadets were killed late August in a suicide attack in Mingora, the main town in Swat, which police blamed on Taliban militants.

Pakistan says more than 1,900 militants and over 167 security personnel were killed in the offensive but the tolls are impossible to verify independently.

طالبان ترجمان مسلم خان گرفتار

مسلم خان کو کچھ عرصہ کے لیے تحریکِ طالبان پاکستان کا ترجمان بھی بنایا گیا تھا

پاکستانی فوج نے سوات میں طالبان کے ترجمان اور کمانڈر مسلم خان سمیت پانچ طالبان رہنماؤں کو گرفتار کرنے کا دعوٰی کیا ہے۔

پاکستان کے فوجی ترجمان میجر جنرل اطہر عباس نے بی بی سی اردو سے بات کرتے ہوئے کہا کہ ان طالبان رہنماؤں کو گزشتہ ہفتے ایک کارروائی کے دوران گرفتار کیا گیا۔

مسلم خان: پی پی پی سے طالبان تک

ان کے بقول گرفتار ہونے والوں میں طالبان ترجمان مسلم خان، کمانڈر محمود خان، شموزئی کے کمانڈر فضل غفار عرف مفتی بشیر، چہار باغ کے کمانڈر عبدالرحمن اور مٹہ کے کمانڈر شمشیر کے بھائی سرتاج شامل ہیں۔

فوجی ترجمان نے کہا کہ ان طالبان رہنماؤں کی گرفتاری کے بارے میں اس لیے زیادہ تفصیلات فراہم نہیں کی جا رہی ہیں کیونکہ ان کی نشاندہی پر علاقے میں حساس نوعیت کی مزید کاروائیاں بھی ہو رہی ہیں۔

ادھر پاکستان کے ایک انگریزی اخبار ’دی نیوز‘ نے ان طالبان رہنماؤں کی گرفتاری کے حوالے سے لکھا ہے کہ ان رہنماؤں کو مذاکرات کے دوران حراست میں لیا گیا ہے۔ سلمان نامی ایک شخص نے جو مسلم خان کی غیر حاضری میں خود کوسوات طالبان کا نیا ترجمان ظاہر کرتے ہیں، اخبار کو بتایا ہے امریکہ میں مقیم سوات کے باشندے کمال خان کی ضمانت پر طالبان فوجی حکام سے بات چیت کرنے پر راضی ہوئے تھے مگر اب ان کا طالبان کی پانچ رکنی مذاکرتی ٹیم سے کسی قسم کا کوئی رابطہ نہیں ہو رہا ہے۔

تاہم میجر جنرل اطہر عباس کا کہنا ہے کہ ’یہ بات بالکل غلط ہے۔ دہشت گردوں کیساتھ کسی قسم کے مذاکرات نہیں ہورہے ہیں۔ ان طالبان رہنماؤں کو ایک فوجی کاروائی کے دوران ہی گرفتار کیا گیا ہے‘۔ انہوں نے ان رہنماؤں کی گرفتاری کو طالبان کے لیے بڑا دھچکا قرار دیا۔

یاد رہے کہ حاجی مسلم خان گزشتہ تقریباً ڈھائی سال سے سوات طالبان کی ترجمانی کا فریضہ سر انجام دیتے رہے ہیں جبکہ محمود خان کو اس وقت شہرت ملی جب طالبان نے پچھلے سال سولہ فروری کو صوبہ سرحد کی حکومت کیساتھ امن معاہدہ کیا۔ محمود خان اس پورے عمل میں پیش پیش رہے تھے۔ حکومت نے ان دونوں کی سر کی قیمت ایک ایک کروڑ روپے مقرر کی تھی۔

سوات سے یہ اطلاعات بھی ملی ہیں کہ حاجی آباد کی علاقے میں فوج کی بڑے پیمانے پر نقل و حرکت نظر آئی ہے جہاں پر مقامی لوگوں کے مطابق گزشتہ روز طالبان ایک گروپ کی صورت میں نظر آئے تھے۔ غیر مصدقہ اطلاعات کے مطابق فوج کو طالبان کے اس گروپ میں کسی اہم طالب رہنماء کی موجود گی کا شک ہے

Zahid Hussain: From much sought after to ‘most wanted’

The faces of militant commanders for whose capture the government has announced millions of rupees seem all too familiar. Just three weeks before the start of the latest round of military operation in Swat I met most of them — not in their mountainous hideouts, but in the official residence of a top bureaucrat in Mingora, barely a few hundred metres from the army garrison.
Accompanied by dozens of well armed Taliban fighters, Muslim Khan, Sirajuddin, Mahmmod Khan and some others (who are said to be responsible for killings of hundreds of soldiers and civilians) were being hosted by the former commissioner of Malakand, Syed Mohammad Javed.
The only person conspicuous by his absence was Maulana Fazlullah, the man with a head money of Rs50 million. ‘He is in Kabal for some important work,’ I was told by one of his lieutenants.
It was April 12 and the commissioner had just returned from Buner where he had apparently brokered a truce between the Taliban threatening the district after the Swat peace deal and the local Lashkar who had long resisted the militant onslaught. It later transpired that the so-called peace accord virtually disarmed the Lashkar and handed over the control of Buner to Taliban.
There was little doubt that Mr Javed, who was known for close links with Sufi Mohammad, had drawn the accord to the advantage of the Taliban. But even he couldn’t have anticipated the consequences.
It seemed that the militant commanders had gathered at the Commissioner House that evening to celebrate the takeover of Buner after consolidating their hold on Swat on the back of the controversial peace accord.
Sitting in a corner of a large open veranda crammed with gun wielding Taliban fighters, I saw them arriving one by one with their armed escorts. There was Muslim Khan with his unruly grey beard, curly locks cascading down from his black turban, walking arrogantly past the police and paramilitary soldiers.
The man who now has a reward of Rs4 million on his head looked at home in the hospitable setting of the Commissioner House that night. I was taken aback to see top government officials standing there to receive the man who was responsible for ordering the execution of innocent civilians.
Earlier in the day when I went to interview him in Imam Dehri Madressah, he showed me a list of people whose execution orders were to be issued. Among them was a woman whose husband had allegedly served in the US army.
‘We are looking for her and she will soon come under the knife,’ the chief spokesman for the militants said smugly. Interestingly enough, Mr Khan himself had lived in the United States for many years before returning to Swat in 2002 to join Maulana Fazlullah’s ‘holy war’. It was bizarre to see him being entertained by government officials.
Sirajuddin, a former spokesman for Maulana Fazlullah who also has a bounty of Rs4 million for his capture, was huddled in a corner with some of his comrades. A thin framed man, he was appointed by Maulana Fazlullah to look after the rich emerald mines which the Taliban had seized after the February peace deal.
A former left-wing activist, he received his higher education in Kabul in 1980s during the communist rule in Afghanistan. He planned to join Lumumba University, but had to return home for reasons not known.
His transformation from a hard core socialist to a radical Muslim came in late 1990s when like many young men he fell under the spell of Maulana Fazlullah’s fiery sermons.
I met Sirajuddin for the first time in November 2007, just few weeks after the start of the first army operation in Swat. The area around Dehri was under militant control. Masked gunmen were entrenched in their bunkers just a few hundred metres from Saidu Sharif airport, where army troops had taken up positions. The sound of artillery shells landing was getting ominously closer. The meeting abruptly ended after a shell exploded outside the house where we were sitting. He looked triumphant when I met him again on the evening of April 12.
More shock was in store when later that evening I saw Faqir Mohammed walking in with a large entourage. Escorted by an Uzbek bodyguard he was whisked inside a large hall where a number of commanders squatted on a carpeted floor.
One of the top leaders of Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan, Faqir Mohammed, has been spearheading the bloody war against Pakistani forces in Bajaur tribal region.
Because of his close links with al Qaeda, security agencies considered Faqir Mohammed more dangerous than Baitullah Mehsud. The presence of Pakistan’s most wanted militant leader at the Commissioner House that evening, when the fighting still raged in Bajaur, was intriguing, to say the least.
The widespread public cynicism about the action against militants was not without any basis. It is almost four weeks now since the army launched the new offensive against the militants in Swat and Buner, dislocating more than three million people and leaving around 100 soldiers killed.
The army now seems determined to eliminate Fazlullah and his commanders. ‘But will there be any accountability of those who were responsible for the return of Taliban in Malakand division. Could not the current devastation have been avoided if these wanted men were eliminated earlier instead of being patronised by the administration,’ wondered a Swat resident now forced to live with his family in Mardan.

Taliban's hypocrisy is in fact Pakistan’s national trait

Muslim Khan, the spokesman of Pakistani Taliban, has won unprecedented notoriety for justifying beheading, flogging, and digging up and hanging the dead. He has a personal stake in propagating the kind of education Muslims of the world must have. Or must not have. He has justified the bombing of schools on many pretexts, but one stands out: Muslims must not get “English” education. By which Muslim Khan means that any school which has anything to do with the English language must be demolished. The Taliban have so far demolished hundreds of schools in the name of cleansing education of the Western-infidel influence. Pakistan’s Islamo-fascist Urdu media has always given him a lot of coverage making him a national folk hero who has stood up to the United States and her Pakistani lackeys.

At long last, someone found out that Muslim Khan’s own son is a graduate student at the University of Peshawar and the medium of his education is English. When the question about his son was tossed to him, the great Muslim Khan was philosophical: “My son is disobedient!” The filed closed. No more questions please.

Judging by Muslim Khan’s own Islamist criteria, his prodigal son is a double whammy: getting English education and being a disobedient son. Can there be a greater sin than filial disobedience which implies filial ingratitude? Plus the infidel English education. And yet Muslim Khan will not slaughter his son nor let any of his fellow Taliban do it. But he will flog and behead anyone else’s boys and girls for countless petty acts like a girl’s leaving home without being chaperoned by an adult male.

This is not just Taliban hypocrisy; this is typical Pakistani hypocrisy.

I have studied, visited, and lived in a number of countries. I have always tried to understand how Pakistani expatriate communities live. I can report a lot of incidents, but I will narrate only of which I have had the very first hand experience.

In a Muslim country there was a Pakistani who in the mid 1990s who terrorized not just the Pakistanis, but anyone he could get hold of. All in the name of Islam. Mullah F was his name, and he was a zealous member of the Tablighi Jamaat, and saw to it that he conveyed the message of Islam to as many non-Muslims and non-Wahabis as he could. One evening, as my wife and I were being treated to a diner by a Sri Lankan friend and his wife, Mullah F came over with the two religious police officers. Without greeting any one of us, Mullah F told my friend’s wife that she had been living in sin because she was a Muslim and her husband a Buddhist. The husband and wife were too scared and my wife and I were too dumbfounded to say anything. After Mullah F and the religious officers left, my friend who had taught mathematics in a Karachi school for a few years exhausted his repertoire of four-letters words for the unwelcome guests. Soon fearing the mighty hand of the possible Islamist inquisition, the couple left the country for good and settled in Auckland where they live a happy life with their three children.

Mullah F had many rabbits up his. His favorite pastime, apart from proselytizing, was to embarrass and insult Pakistanis who had acquired permanent residence in Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. In Pakistani gatherings he would tell in a loud voice that those who had obtained permanent residence in “those infidel countries” would have their daughters turned into prostitutes and sons into pimps who would end up marrying the infidels. He would also say that in an infidel country like Australia or Canada, people lived haram lives.

To his credit, Mullah F’s made his wife and three daughters live in complete purdah, and you could not even see his wife’s hands which had gloves on all the time. And life went on till my friend Mr. Shah came over one evening and asked me to accompany him. He wanted to see Mullah F. I protested. I had never even spoken to him and vice versa. Besides, I wanted to stay away from the filthy mouth of the man. But Mr. Shah had breaking news: Mullah F had not only obtained Australian permanent residence, he had just returned from Darwin in Australia after settling his family there. Now, Mr. Shah had been one of the victims of Mullah F at a Pakistani function. The report from some Pakistan families in Darwin was that Mullah F’s wife and daughters had got rid of purdah and were living more liberally than any other Pakistani family.

Contrary to my fears, Mullah F was very kind and graceful as he opened the door. Before Mr. Shah could get even with Mullah F (he had predicted something ominous about Mr. Shah’s daughters in Toronto), this is what happened: “I am sure you have come to congratulate me over my permanent residence in Australia. It is Allah’s act. Allah must have wanted to use me and my family to something noble in Australia. Who can question when He gives you something. I only hope I succeed in the task that Allah will assign me and my family in Australia and I request you two brothers to pray for my success.”

Mr. Shah could not say a word and left like a gambler who had lost all he had.

There was another Allah-fearing Pakistani in another Pakistani community. He was mostly referred to as Sarkar Jee instead of his real name. One of the tasks he had taken upon himself was advising people that Muslims must marry Muslims. He had a theory of genetic transfer of sin: “If anyone in the history of your family has tasted pork, it will take seven generations to rid of the sin of eating pork!” Which means that seven generations would be infected only because someone in the past tasted pork.

The eldest son of Sarkar Jee married a Chinese woman who was a Christian. Her father ran a non-halal restaurant where pork was served too. Just like Mullah F, Sarkar Jee had a well-thought-out answer: “Allah chose my son to convert a woman to Islam. What else could one have asked for? Who can fault my son?” No one upon the pain of death.

Typically Pakistanis are hypocritical, intellectually dishonest, and morally bankrupt. I challenge anyone to visit Pakistanis living abroad. Day in and day out, they denounce their host countries—Australia, Britain, Canada, etc—for being immoral and anti-Islamic, but will never leave and settle down in Pakistan. They are in the forefront in demanding their rights, but are absent when it comes to fulfilling their civic duties. In Pakistan, an American drone attack will outrage the entire nation for killing a dozen people, but the beheading and burning alive of hundreds of Muslims and non-Muslims by the fundamentalists is condemned by only a handful of brave people. I can quote dozens of examples where little girls were raped in the mosques, but no one raised a voice against the rapes, and no one was ever punished for those rapes (All of the rapists were imams or pesh-imams of those mosques). Look at the hypocrisy of Pakistan’s Urdu journalists and politicians: every time innocent people are killed via suicide bombing the standard response is: “Muslims cannot do it.” Matter closed. The fact is that those who carry out these crimes are hundred per cent Muslim and have impeccable Islamic credentials: They pray five times a day, read the Koran regularly, and most of them are hafiz. Muslims believe that on the Day of Judgment one hafiz will lead a dozen of people to Paradise.

Internationally, the Unite States is the wickedest country, but American education for one’s son is a dream come true and an American green card is Allah’s greatest boon. Jews are the enemies of humanity, but Jewish inventions and discoveries are fully exploited for our benefit.

Our national hypocrisy is one reason that Pakistan will always remain a heart of darkness.

New rulers invite Osama Bin Laden to Swat ! Well done NWFP government and Pak Army !

TTP says Osama welcome in Swat:

* Taliban reject peace accord

* Muslim Khan wants Taliban model of sharia in Pakistan, ‘even in America’

* Those who disagree with Taliban are non-Muslims

Swat Taliban have said they are not bound to honour the peace accord between the government and cleric Sufi Muhammad, a private TV channel reported on Tuesday.

According to the channel, they said the NWFP government had signed the deal with Tehreek-e-Nifaz-e-Shariat-e-Muhammadi, and not with the Taliban.

Taliban sharia: Although there was no official confirmation, Taliban spokesman Muslim Khan issued a direct challenge to the legitimacy of Pakistan’s government in a telephone interview with the CNN, by demanding the imposition of the Taliban’s model of sharia throughout Pakistan and beyond, “even in America”.

Disagree: He also denounced any Pakistanis who disagreed with his interpretation of Islam, calling them “non-Muslims”. He also called for the imposition of jiziya, a tax to be levied on all non-Muslims in Pakistan.

In an Associated Press interview, he said Osama Bin Laden was welcome in Swat. “Yes, we will help them and protect them.”Muslim Khan counted the Lashkar-e-Tayyaba, the Jaish-e-Muhammad, the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, Al Qaeda, and the Taliban of Afghanistan among his allies. “If we need, we can call them and if they need, they can call us,” he said. He said his forces would go to help the Taliban in Afghanistan if the United States and NATO continue to fight there.

In an interview to a Srinagar-based newspaper, he dismissed reports the Taliban would attempt to disrupt elections in Indian-held Kashmir. ( daily times monitor/ap/iftikhar gilani )

Talibans' Shariah doesn't allow them to lay down arms !!! Talibans vow to to take their 'struggle' to new areas !

Swat Taliban refuse to lay down arms

ISLAMABAD: Pakistani Taliban will not lay down their arms in a northwestern valley as part of a deal that included the introduction of sharia law but will take their 'struggle' to new areas, a militant spokesman said on Wednesday.
President Asif Ali Zardari, under pressure from conservatives, signed a regulation on Monday imposing sharia law in the Swat valley to end Taliban violence.
The strategy of appeasement has alarmed US officials, while critics say the government has demonstrated a lack of capacity and will to fight the Taliban and al Qaeda.
Details of the deal have not been made public but government officials backing the pact have said part of it was that militants would give up their arms.
But a Pakistani Taliban spokesman in the scenic valley, a one-time tourist destination 125 km northwest of Islamabad, said they would be keeping their guns.
'Sharia doesn't permit us to lay down arms,' Muslim Khan said by telephone. 'If a government, either in Pakistan or Afghanistan, continues anti-Muslim policies, it's out of the question that Taliban lay down their arms.'
Some Taliban fighters last week moved out of Swat and into Buner district, only 100 km from Islamabad, and Khan said his men would push into new areas.
'When we achieve our goal at one place, there are other areas where we need to struggle for it,' he said.
Earlier on Wednesday, the Tehrik-i-Nifaz-Shariat-i-Muhammdi, which Sufi Mohammad heads, announced a public rally in Mingora on April 19, DawnNews reported.
Sufi Mohammad said the rally is ‘intended to appreciate the sincere efforts and cooperation of the government which has ensured the enforcement of Sharia.’
He reiterated that laws under the Nizam-i-Adl regulation will be tailored for the common man and will provide amnesty to militants.
He further said ‘the decisions of Qazi courts will not be allowed to be challenged in any other court of the country, including the Supreme Court.’
The TNSM Chief asked the people of Swat to work together with the government to maintain peace in the region and praised the Awami National Party for its efforts in implementing the Sharia regulation.
Militants infiltrated into Swat in 2007 from strongholds on the Afghan border to the west to support cleric Sufi Mohammad.
Khan said militants would go to Afghanistan to fight US-led forces if Afghan Taliban called for help.
'Our struggle is for a cause and that's to enforce Allah's rule on Allah's land. We will send mujahideen to Afghanistan if they demand them,' he said.
One security analyst, retired Brigadier Syed Mehmood Shah, said peace could be found if the government disarmed the militants: 'The agreement should be given a chance.'
But another said the Swat militants were part of an expanding network.
'There is no comprehensive counter-insurgency strategy from the military or government. They are not taking it seriously,' said Khadim Hussain of the Aryana Institute think-tank.

TTP Swat Threatens to Kill MPs Opposing their Brand of Shariah !!!

President Asif Ali Zardari on Sunday referred the draft Nizam-e-Adl Regulation, 2009 to Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani, advising him to table it before parliament for debate prior to its implementation. Meanwhile both TTP & TNSM have said that MPs opposing to the so-called Nizam-e-Adl Regulation, 2009 would be declared "non-Muslims" !

TNSM, Taliban warn MPs against opposing Nizam-e-Adl

MINGORA: The Tanzim Nifaz Shariat-e-Muhammadi (TNSM) and the Swat Taliban on Sunday warned parliamentarians against opposing the Nizam-e-Adl Regulation in the National Assembly.
“Even holy prophets had no authority to make religious laws or amend them, then how can the National Assembly do it?” TNSM spokesman Amir Izzat Khan told The News.
“If members of the National Assembly opposed the judicial system of the Shariat-e-Muhammadi, they will enter the category of non-Muslims and Pakistan will become Darul Harb,” he warned.
Explaining Darul Harb, he said when the rulers of a country opposed the Shariah, they did not remain Muslims anymore. “So a country with non-Muslims as its rulers becomes Darul Harb,” he said and added that it made Jihad mandatory on rulers.
Muslim Khan, the spokesman for the Swat militants, warned that those opposing the Nizam-e-Adl would be declared Murtad or apostate. “Then, he or she should contest election on minority seat, if he or she remains alive,” he said.
He urged the government to enforce the Shariah as soon as possible and establish authorised Qazi courts. He claimed they were peaceful people and stood for calm and tranquillity.Amir Izzat said enforcement of the Nizam-e-Adl was their constitutional right. “This country was also acquired in the name of Islam, then why Islamic system should not be enforced here,” he questioned.
He urged members of the National Assembly to force President Zardari into signing the Nizam-e-Adl Regulation for the implementation of the Islamic system.
