#1 Any relation to Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) spokesman Farhatullah Babar, last seen "react(ing) cautiously to former premier Nawaz Sharifs deportation, saying that it was a matter between Nawaz, his guarantors and the courts."?

#2 General Nasrullah Babar was Interior Minister under Prime Minister Benazir Benazir. He created the Taliban.

Babar is sometimes called the "godfather" of the Taliban, whom he used to call "my boys". The ISI actually opposed him on this. They backed Gulbuddin Hekmatyar instead.

#4 One of the "godfathers" anyway. The Taliban had a lot of Pakistani sperm donors.
