MIRANSHAH: The Taliban in Waziristan announced forming a Shura Ittehadul Mujahideen (Council of United Mujahideen) on Sunday to wage jihad in an organised manner.
Pamphlets distributed in the Miranshah Bazaar and other areas of the agency headquarters said the forces led by Mullah Muhammad Omar and Osama Bin Laden were fighting against infidels led by US President Barack Obama, Pakistani President Asif Zardari and Afghan President Hamid Karzai.
They quoted verses of the holy Quran calling people to fight a holy war against infidels, who they said were killing innocent Muslims.
The announcement was made by Taliban leaders Hafiz Gul Bahadur, who is the Taliban emir in North Waziristan, Baitullah Mehsud, the top Taliban commander in South Waziristan, and Maulvi Nazir, the chief of Taliban in Wana, who said they wanted to stop the infidels from carrying out acts of barbarism against innocent people.
