| 2014-07-14 |
| [DAWN] A little known holy warrior outfit Jaish-e-Khurasan has threatened the security forces and intelligence officials in Jamrud with armed attacks if they failed to abandon their duties till Eidul Fitr. The group pasted computer generated Urdu language pamphlets on the walls of buildings and other prominent places in Ghundi, Gudar, Bakarabad, Sakhi Pul and Sikandarkhel localities here on Friday night. The pamphlet asks the officials of Levies, Khasadar force, army, Frontier Corps and intelligence agencies to resign from their respective jobs till Eidul Fitr, as according to the pamphlet these people were allegedly working for the Americans and Jews and not for Islam or Pakistain. "According to the holy Koran, those who cooperate or work for infidels are also considered infidels and enemies of Islam," said the pamphlet. It further threatened the officials of the law-enforcement and intelligence agencies that they would be attacked inside their own houses if they failed to resign from duties before the deadline. Issued with the name of Jaish-e-Khurasan without any signatures or insignia, the pamphlet said that they would not accept any excuse from the security and intelligence personnel after the expiry of the deadline. Local administrative officials confirmed the appearance of threatening pamphlets in some localities of Jamrud, but doubted its authenticity. They said that they had already started investigation about the distribution of these pamphlets and the existence of the group behind it in Jamrud. |
