Fazlullah alive and kicking: Taliban
 The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) on Thursday denied claims that Maulana Fazlullah, the architect of a brutal uprising in Swat, was wounded, and threatened to unleash renewed "holy war". Pakistan said on July 8 it had "credible" information that Fazlullah was hurt during a blistering offensive designed to crush the Taliban in Swat. "Taliban chief Fazlullah is alive, healthy and has never been wounded," TTP spokesman Muslim Khan told AFP over the telephone from an undisclosed location. "All of the Taliban leadership in Swat are alive and are in hiding with a strategy. We will continue our jihad until the enforcement of sharia," he said. "Army artillery and tanks cannot prevent us from achieving our objective," he said. Posted by: Fred 2009-07-24 |
