#1 Israr Ahmed leads the Tanzeem-e-Islami, a pretty important Islamist movement. He used to be part of the Jamaat-e-Islami, but the very idea of participating in the democratic process was offensive to him, so he formed his group which stays away from politics and awaits the Mahdi.
He used to recognise Mullah Omar as the Caliph, but he has kept a low profile recently.

#2 So this is a probable Taliban link to the hit on Musharraf as well, then?

#3 I doubt Israr Ahmed would have anything to do with the hit, he is a very high profile figure and lives well on the millions of dollars he rakes in from his followers.
But he might have allowed members of his family to get close to the Jihadi outfits, and I can easily see them providing safe houses to members of al Qaeda
