I am alive: Fazlullah
Local Taliban commander in Swat Maulvi Fazlullah denied reports that security forces had killed him, BBC Urdu reported on Wednesday. Fazlullah telephoned the BBC office in the evening, and said he was safe and that reports about his death in a security forces operation were baseless, according to BBC. BBC quoted Fazlullah as saying that he was all right and leading the local Taliban movement against the security forces in Swat. Fazlullah alleged that the government was spreading rumours about his death to demoralise militants fighting against the security forces in Swat, BBC reported.Posted by: Fred 2008-01-10 |
