Anti-Taliban leader shot dead in Pakistan
2012-06-28
[Bangla Daily Star] The bullet-riddled bodies of an anti-Taliban militia commander and three of his associates were dumped in Pakistain's northwestern city of Beautiful Downtown Peshawar yesterday, police said.

The bodies of Fahimud Din, 50, chief of a 1,500-strong vigilante force in Bazidkhel on the outskirts of Peshawar, and three of his associates were found in a Toyota Land Cruiser on the city's ring road.

The Taliban grabbed credit.

"We killed Fahimud Din and his colleagues. They raised a militia against us and wanted to defeat us," Ehsanullah Ehsan, front man for Pakistain's main Tehrik-e-Taliban faction, told AFP by telephone from Qazi's guesthouse an undisclosed location.

"Anybody who rises up against us will face the same fate," Ehsan added.
