Facts about Punjabi Taliban
By Adnan Bitani and Kahar Zalmay
Background
Mostly Punjabi Taliban were focused on Kashmir and Afghanistan. Shaheen Bitani had personally shared these details with Project Pakistan after the meeting. He said that TTP commanders argued that since ANP had been weakened and the targets achieved in Khyber Pukhtunkhwa province, it was time the operation was extended to Punjab. Before TTP could launch punitive action against Punjabi Taliban, rift developed among its own ranks when Khan Said Sajna was removed from the leadership of South Waziristan. The issue was put in the back burner but few weeks later, six associates of Asmatullah Muavia were gunned down in Data Khel area by TTP that pushed Punjabi Taliban closer to the military.
Links with Al-Qaeda and Haqqani Network
Punjabi Taliban have been closely linked with Al-Qaeda which is the main source of its funding. These groups include Badar Mansoor group, Janudul Hafsa,
Kashmiri Mujhidin, Harkatul Mujahidin-Harkatul Jihad al Islami.
