Anti-Taliban group 'born' in Darra
2008-02-14
A new militant group calling itself Al-Hizb has emerged in the semi-tribal Darra Adam Khel area, which calls the local Taliban “criminals” and says it would act against them, tribal sources told Daily Times on Wednesday. The group distributed pamphlets carrying 11 points on Wednesday, vowing to behead the Taliban publicly. The Taliban in their move to “eliminate criminals” killed Amir Syed alias Charg, who was notorious for robberies in Darra, in August 2007. To avenge Charg’s murder, the sources said, his supporters had now formed the Al-Hizb outfit. One of Al-Hizb’s pamphlets said the group members would ambush Taliban commanders and target them with remote-controlled bombs. The note also named people “working for intelligence agencies”, and asked them to stop spying or face death. Al-Hizb also appealed to five local tribes and khasadars (tribal police) to come forward and help eliminate “antisocial elements”. It urged security forces to restrict their operations to “criminal Taliban”.

Not sure who hese people are, but whack-a-talimullah is good thing.

The note also named people “working for intelligence agencies”, and asked them to stop spying or face death
