Maulvi Faqir Mohammed & Qari Ziaur Rehman killed

[AgNoStiC MuSliM]

So now we're rejoicing over deaths.

Rejoicing in the deaths of terrorists responsible for the murder of thousands of Pakistanis - yes.

These people have been given the option to surrender - they choose to not do so and fight it out, and in doing so select the manner of their demise.

 

[Tiger Awan]

Well evil men are just like un-guided bombs. Thats why they create an new leader very early. And this leader just decides which area to bomb. Unfortunately knowledge regarding bomb making and assaults are very common now. So they keep bloody game going.

So now we're rejoicing over deaths.

Off course! why not? Do you these guys are responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocent people in Pakistan and Afghanistan? Actually, if they are caught alive then i would be very very happy. Cuz death is not the real punishment for these inhumen creatures. They must be first tortured then be killed.

 

[Ahmad]

Well, Things din't change overnight after 9/11. Terrorism existed in this region from the time of Afgan-Russia war, when USA and Pakistan supported Taliban and once the war ended the insurgency in Kashmir began. You might have not experienced it in Pakistan side of kashmir, but on Indian side of Kashmir we did suffer constant terrorist attacks, plane hijacking etc.

Not the taliban, the mujahideen, they are 2 different groups. The mujahideen were mostly anti taliban.

The mujahideen were mostly anti taliban.

Can you qualify that statement?

 

[Ahmad]

Can you qualify that statement?

What do you mean by qualifying?

 

[Awesome]

As Good Governance and Socio-Economic Change will never materialize in Pakistan so in other words you are saying Taliban are forever.

Even in highly reduced form.

If not them, it will be some criminals or traitors or the other. But our job is to just keep doing the right thing. Little by little there will be improvement.

 

[HAIDER]

Well army can kill millions of these terrorist, but actual problem is still their and lately Richard Halbrooke also addressed.
Energy and Unemployment. Until govt won't give any vision to young generation of Pakistan, nothing would change. I welcome the opening of US Aid department audit office in Pakistan. Govt of US has allocated billions of dollar for the reconstruction of FATA , should be spent and under the strict supervision and keep political govt away from project, only try to involve locals govts and localsl of the affected areas. All energy sectors should be privatize, specially including Railway and PIA.

What do you mean by qualifying?

GHALANAI: Security forces stepped up their operation in the Mohmand tribal region and combat helicopters pounded militants’ positions on Friday.

Officials said that 30 militants were killed when the helicopters attacked two compounds in Enzari Miangan and Koz Sagai areas of Pendiali tehsil adjoining Bajaur Agency.

There were unconfirmed reports that three top commanders of the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan, Maulana Faqir Mohammad, Qari Ziarur Rehman and Fateh Mohammad of Swat, were among the dead.

Political administration officials and intelligence sources, however, did not confirm the report.

But one official categorically stated that ‘commander’ Fateh Mohammad had been killed.

Some sources said that Maulana Faqir and the two other ‘commanders’ had been seen in Mohmand on Wednesday.

Maulana Faqir moved to Mohmand after his main base in Damadola was captured by troops last week.

The two compounds attacked on Friday belonged to Rahim Mian and Ghulam Mian, but reports about death of 30 militants could not be verified from independent sources.

At the headquarters of Mohmand Rifles in Ghalanai, bodies of four militants killed in a clash at a checkpost in Chamarkand on Thursday were shown to reporters.

An official said that 40 militants had been killed in the clash which followed an attack by militants.

 

[kidwaibhai]

I hope this is true. but we should wait for confirmation before we really start celebrating. If it is true then this would be a awesome strike against the TTP

 

[Ahmad]

Can you qualify that statement?

Nearly all of them were anti taliban with the exception of 2 leaders. Off course some of the mujahideen commandars joined the Taliban, but majority of them were against them.

Pakistan Taliban commander 'killed in air strike'

A senior Taliban commander is likely to have been killed by an air strike in Pakistan's north-west, officials say.
The interior minister said he assumed Maulana Faqir Mohammed was dead after helicopters hit a building in Mohmand region, killing at least 16 militants.
Faqir Mohammed - one of the Pakistani Taliban's top figures and commander in the Bajaur tribal area - has been the focus of recent Pakistani action.
A number of Taliban leaders have been arrested or killed in recent weeks.
Washington has been urging Pakistan to act against Afghan Taliban members taking shelter in the tribal areas along the border.
The Pakistani military said recently that the Bajaur area, on the border and once a haven for Afghan and Pakistani Taliban, had been cleared of insurgents.
Last refuge
Speaking in Islamabad, Interior Minister Rehman Malik said he could not confirm the death of Maulana Faqir Mohammed, but expected he was killed in the strike.
"We had real-time intelligence that Faqir Mohammad was in a meeting with another commander, Qari Zia-ur-Rehman, in the basement of this hideout at the time of the attack," Mr Malik said, quoted by Reuters news agency.
"I would be surprised if he's alive. I hope we'll have confirmation in a day or so."
Mr Malik did confirm the death of one senior Taliban figure in the raid, Fateh Mohammed, a military commander in the Swat valley area.
Faqir Mohammed staked a claim to be the overall leader of the Pakistani Taliban after the movement's figurehead, Baitullah Mehsud, was killed in a US drone attack, reports the BBC's Ilyas Khan, in Islamabad,
After the fall last week of Damadola, the Taliban's last stronghold in Bajaur, he was reported to have slipped into the Mohmand region along with hundreds of Taliban fighters.
Qari Zia-ur-Rehman is said to be the top leader of the Taliban in Kunar and Nuristan provinces in Afghanistan.
It is widely believed he has been hiding in Bajaur, and is wanted by Pakistanis and US forces operating in Afghanistan.
