That is extremely unlikely.
As stated in the video, it was the US that killed the last three TTP leaders. The one that was in Pakistani hands escaped/was let go - what does that tell you.
Maybe there are sympathisers in the establishment ranks for these people, maybe there is a lack of will...
US media also interviewed OBL, Afghan Taliban leaders and thousands of wanted criminals over the years. It doesn't prove a nexus.
In fact, this proves that the leadership is contactable - and it would be foolish to think Pak establishment hasn't been communicating with him. In fact, how can...
Why even take part in the Olympics, which is a western competition, founded by the West and controlled by the West? Same with football world cup. Some muslim countries want to do politics using sports but are also desperate to be included in the game. You should join in the sporting spirit or...
Funnily enough, BD govt, media, even the people never blamed India at the time. As an evolved civil society, we could see the situation was grim for India.
But now India is boasting about selling us oxygen, when they failed when it really mattered, is just sickening.
What's the point of that? You think anyone but Algeria is reporting that he left so he wouldn't have to face an Israeli? On the Olympics coverage it will simply say Algerian athlete forfeited.
To be honest I am really impressed by Chinese society. This is a very decent way to express your dissatisfaction.
Anything more would have been counter productive. It would look like an attack on press freedom (by govt agents in the crowd).

Sorry buddy, but even the NHS, the epitome of free healthcare in the world, cannot afford these types of treatments. There are dozens of cases where people have gone abroad to pay for expensive treatments because the NHS is unwilling to provide it.
In reality, when healthcare is provided free...
Firstly, mental health issues exist in every strata of society - elite or poor, city or village, liberal or conservative. There are hundreds of cases of people killing their wives, their own parents, etc. In fact, usually they kill the ones closest to them. So I feel sorry for this poor lady...
Seriously, I am looking for someone in BD who knows how to run a farm, I am open to any type of crop. We have a pretty large landholding in Sylhet around 70 bigha.
Any links would be appreciated.
Well as an act of real politik, this is a very logical, even clever, move by Erdogan.
This is an opportunity to grab a stake in Afghanistan, that will be beneficial to Turkey for the next hundred years. At the same time, he gets in the good books of NATO and USA.
And the risk? Minimal, limited...
Nice to see the clarity of your thoughts on this. The brotherhood would've been the first step of a descent into the dark ages for Egypt.
Look what Morsi's chief backer and fellow ideologue, Erdogan, has reaped for his own country. From zero problems with neighbours to problems with almost...
Actually I think you have hit on something with the obsession with corruption idea. We get so carried away that someone is making extra money from something, that we end up doing nothing.
Come on dear, poor nations and their magical dreams. There always seems to be trillions to be had, but it never materialises.
People were going on about Afghanistan and it's trillions of mineral resources. Bangladesh with its gas fields. Pakistan with reko diq, oil finds and now this.
The...
No amount of violence can make people unsee an opportunity. They might not fight the Taliban but they will be escaping in droves.
Pakistanis are busy bashing Pres Ghani, but they don't realise how much they need Kabul to ensure a stable border for Pak.
I'm sorry, Stockholm syndrome worked 100 years ago, when it was possible to keep people segregated, shuttered from the outside world and made pliable.
Today, every Afghan child knows the riches and opportunities to be had just a few miles away. The Taliban will be the first to get disillusioned...
Good - looks like Pakistani Tali lovers will be getting what they wished for. The glory of the Sharia system will shine again for all the world to see. And it's reverberations will be felt in KPK, Karachi and Balochistan first.
I have concluded that the only way to snap people out of the their...
