you mean gul bahadur? hope that deal doesnt bite us in the *** like before many times.
Yes sorry Hafiz Gul bahadur
Maulvi Aleem Khan, a former top Taliban leader, told Radio Mashaal on March 14 that, after successful negotiations with the government, he has decided to "work for peace in the region."
Khan said he will resist anyone who would attempt to create insecurity in the Datta Khel region, which was previously a main militant sanctuary.
Khan is considered one of the most influential militant commanders in Datta Khel and was previously the deputy of Hafiz Gul Bahadur, the most powerful Pakistani Taliban commander in North Waziristan.
Hundreds of alleged U.S. drone strikes in the region reportedly killed senior figures from Al-Qaeda, Tehrik-e Taliban Pakistan, the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, the Haqqani network, the East Turkistan Islamic Movement and Bahadur's faction since 2005. Most of the drone strikes were concentrated in Datta Khel.
Khan is now seen as having abandoned Bahadur, forming his own militant faction, Jaish-e Muttaqi.
Pakistani civil and military officials have not commented on Khan's claims, but the fact he was able to reach journalists in the region and his claims were reported in the Pakistani press shows he has possibly reached an understanding with the authorities.
