Swat shopkeepers warned by Taleban | ||
2014-07-28 | ||
A cloth merchant in Madayan Bazaar of the Swat Valley has received leaflets purported to be from the Tehreek-e-Taleban Pakistan (TTP) warning him to shut down his shop and leave the area immediately. The leaflet also warned local women not to visit the markets and bazaars. According to local sources, the letter on a TTP letterhead was signed 'Tehreek-e-Taleban Pakistan chief Mullah Fazlullah'. It was put up at the shop door in the night by unknown persons. The businessman was told to 'get ready for death' if he failed to heed the warning. Locals in Swat say they have received threatening letters and leaflets, reportedly from the TTP, warning them to pay money or be prepared for death.
