 SWAT: Police arrested four leaders of the banned organisation Tehreek-e-Nifaz-e-Shariat-e-Muhammadi (TNSM) on Thursday. The police took TNSM Malakand ameer Maulana Safiullah, district ameer Maulvi Abdul Haq, Maulana Dost Muhammad and Mattah tehsil ameer Muhammad Iqbal into custody under the Anti-Terrorism Act. They have been moved to an undisclosed location. Sources said that the TNSM leaders had been called to the police station on the pretext of a meeting and were later arrested. More arrests are expected in this connection, sources added.
| TNSM's most notable accomplishment was to recruit thousands of Paks to run off to Afghanistan in support of the Taliban. Many, if not most, were slaughtered, and most of the survivers ended up bunking in shipping containers or being held for ransom by various warlords. The organization's supremo, Sufi Mohammad, was sentenced to seven years in jug for making Pakland look ridiculous. |
