... aka
Taliban Khan, who ain't the sharpest bulb on the national tree...
, if he holds a planned march to their tribal stronghold to protest US drone attacks.
Although the Pak Taliban also oppose the strikes, front man Ahsanullah Ahsan said they would attack Imran Khan because he calls himself a "liberal" a term they associate with a lack of religious belief.
The threat could surprise many in Pakistain who have criticised Khan for not being tough enough on the Taliban and instead focusing his criticism on the government's alliance with the US.
Ahsan spoke to The News Agency that Dare Not be Named in an interview on Monday in the bad turban group's stronghold of South
Wazoo. "We will kill him," said Ahsan.Some of his critics have nicknamed him "Taliban Khan" because of his views and his cozy ties with conservative leaders who could help him attract right-wing voters in national elections likely to be held later this year or early next year.
Khan has described himself as a liberal in various TV interviews, but he has also made clear that he is a practicing Moslem. Ahsan, the Taliban front man, seemed to ignore that distinction and said the forces of Evil didn't want Khan's help in opposing drone attacks.
Khan has said he is planning to lead thousands of people in a march to Waziristan in September to demonstrate against the strikes.
"We will not accept help or sympathy from any infidel," said Ahsan, referring to Khan. "We can fight on our own with the help of God," he said, as drones buzzed overhead.
The front man for Khan's party could not be immediately reached for comment. Ahsan said the Taliban consider anyone who participates in elections, even religious parties, as infidels and will target them.
"The election process is part of a secular system," said Ahsan. "We want an Islamic system and will create hurdles to secularism." An AP news hound interviewed Ahsan at a remote compound on a forested mountainside in South Waziristan.
He was taken there from a compound in the Shawal area that housed several dozen Taliban fighters armed with AK-47s, rocket-propelled grenade launchers and anti-aircraft guns. Artillery fired by the Mighty Pak Army regularly pounded the ground near the compound.
The military launched a major offensive against the Pak Taliban in South Waziristan in 2009 and has claimed to have largely cleared the area.
But the forces of Evil regularly launch attacks, and the interview held with the AP indicated they move relatively freely. Ahsan arrived for the interview in a pick-up truck with two other Taliban capos.
He was wearing a white shalwar kameez and a woolen Chitrali cap. He spoke with an assault rifle laid across his lap, and he and the other commanders had gun sex in celebration at the end of the interview.
